In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) is a powerful and infamous dark wizard who causes mass chaos and terror around the world, seeking a new Wizarding World Order based on his belief in wizarding superiority. After Grindelwald escapes a prison transfer, Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein join forces with Albus Dumbledore to bring him in.

In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) is an adopted child of Mary-Lou Barebone who’s been severely abused and downtrodden. No surprise that he’s disturbed and filled with anger, especially at Grindenwald’s betrayal of him.

In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Propentina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and her sister Queenie raised each other after their parents died of Dragon Pox. She works a ho-hum position for the Magical Congress of the United States of America , at least until she runs into Newt Scamander on the streets of New York.

Dolores Umbridge was a Ministry of Magic bureaucrat until she is appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts. Don’t let her prim and pink appearance fool you, she’s a witch of the truest sense and will use whatever means necessary to enforce the rules.

Rita Skeeter is a witch journalist whom Albus Dumbledore has described as “enchantingly nasty.” When she is not spying and eavesdropping for stories in her secret animagus form, the beetle, she can be identified by her bright blonde curls, her Quick Notes Quill, and her mischievous smile.

Quirky and often lost in a daydream, Luna became a solid friend to Harry Potter and the gang. Having a father who is editor of the wizarding tabloid, The Quibbler, often gives Luna insight (whether correct or not) on what’s really going on in the wizarding world. If she’s not reading, you’ll often find her with various animals on the school grounds.
