With Albus Dumbledore's guidance, Newt must track down Grindelwald's growing band of fanatical followers before their leader can subjugate the non-magical world. As loyalties are tested and the wizarding community fractures, Newt must use his expertise with fantastical beasts to thwart Grindelwald's sinister plans.
