The Fantastic Beasts is a fantasy film that is a prequel to the Harry Potter series. It was written by J K Rowling and directed by Davis Yates. 2 parts have been released till now and the third is expected to debut in 2021, however, the movie is going to consist of 5 parts. The first part was released on 18th November 2016 and the second season was released on 16th November 2018.

The running time of the first and second parts is 133 and 134 minutes respectively. Rotten Tomatoes has rated the first part at 74% and the second part at 36%.
We can expect to see most of the cast from the previous part. Thus, our star Eddie Redmayne will be returning as Newt Scamander, Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore, Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein, Alison Sudol as Queenie Goldstein and Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone.
In the first part, the lead characters Newt Scamander and Tina succeeded in saving New York. Subsequently, the second part starts with the escape of Grindelwald, the villain, and ends with him forming an army of his own. The pact of Dumbledore and Grindelwald to not fight each other and Queenie and Credence switching party to favor Grindelwald has led to his success.
Furthermore, Niffler, Newt Scamander’s friend stole the blood vial in which Dumbledore and Grindelwald had sealed their pact.
We cannot be sure as to the entire plot of the next part but what is guaranteed is extreme adventure and magic as the team will fight Grindelwald’s army all over the world while they try to find a way to outbound the blood pact. Further, we can be sure to evidence a lot many fantastic beasts. However, this will certainly not be the end of the battle as the movie is supposed to have 5 parts.
