Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald – The Original Screenplay
J. K. Rowling
The Wizarding World journey continues
The powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most of whom are unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.
In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second screenplay in a five-film series to be written by J.K. Rowling, author of the internationally bestselling Harry Potter books. Set in 1927, a few months after the events of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, and moving from New York to London, Paris and even back to Hogwarts, this story of mystery and magic reveals an extraordinary new chapter in the wizarding world. Illustrated with stunning line art from MinaLima with some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films.

In this book, Grindelwald goes to Paris to try and recruit Credence to join his cause. Newt Scamander goes to Paris trying to find Tina, his friend from America. I recommend this book to any harry potter and animal fan.

I liked that the prisoner escaped but there's a big cliff hanger at the end.
General Bernice Armchair 06.09.2022

I really loved this book too as it was a continuation from the 1st fantastic beasts book i had read. I loved hearing more about the magical animals and all the new palaces they disapperate to. Having a mixture of two stories in one was something i'd not read before and i liked how the story of the magical creatures were interlinked with Grindelwald. Again i would recommend this book
Queen Letizia Foxtail 31.08.2022

I didn't enjoy the book much at all, This is just because of the way it's written. it's all in play script, I'd like to see the film in hope that it's a little better. I love JK Rowling she is by far my favorite author so this is my least favorite book of hers but the story line is good. I still love Jk Rowling even though this book isn't one that I enjoy.

It is a Harry Potter book and I love Harry Potter. I really liked the film too which adds to it. I enjoy writing books and this book inspired me to try and write a screenplay which I am enjoying lots. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to any Potter Heads!!!

This fictional book is from the Fantastic Beasts franchise. It told me about the character script lines and what they had to learn and the scenery around them. This gave me enough detail for me to be able to make a mental image of the film setting and the characters. I would recommend this book to any film lover or to the Potter or Beast followers. Only for those with imagination within Witchery or Wizardry.
Baroness Honeycomb Rubber-duck 22.07.2022

It was amazing I would recommend it to J. K. Rowling hands but it was just like screenplay and I’m not really into that proper stories with Settings and stuff it was just like just all the screenplay and the lines and everything but my friends enjoy it so I think it’s a good book I would definitely recommend it
Farmer Banana Bertrand 14.07.2022

I thought that there was going to be adventure. My favourite character was Newt. I would recommend it to my friends.
Commander Zeus Stegosaurus 31.12.2021

It is good because you can read the screenplay and watch the movie. I liked Leta Lestrange. I would recommend it to people that like Harry Potter.
Captain Diamond Buffalo 29.08.2021

This book is really my style! Action-adventure is THE BEST!! Grindlewald is a powerful wizard, but on the wrong side...
Professor Candyfloss Hedgehog 25.08.2021

Newt tries to capture Grindelwald again and has an adventure in Paris
Inspector Muscles Eggybread 08.08.2021

I loved this book. The movie was quite confusing, but after reading the script, I worked out how good it was. My favourite characters were Queenie Goldstine and Leta Lestrange.
Nurse Candyfloss Pennyfarthing 07.08.2021

AMAZING! 2nd book int the series! loved it!
Principal Ariel Peanut-butter 14.03.2021

Its a fun sequel to last one and at the end you find out something shocking that you probably wouldn't be able to guess. Its interesting since I loved the Harry Potter series and this is just as good.
