The group was able to defeat Credence's violent rage against the city, but Aurors decided to vanquish him in order to protect the magical world. Alongside a team consisting of No-Maj Jacob Kowalski (Dan Folger), Auror Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), and her Legilimens sister Queenie (Alison Sudol), Newt's quest to track down his lost magical creatures was sidetracked when Credence Barebone's secret identity as a powerful Obscurus was revealed. Eddie Redmayne's magical zoologist Newt Scamander ( the grandfather of Luna Lovegood's future husband) unexpectedly became involved in New York City's tenuous relationship between wizards and Muggles, known as No-Majs in American lingo. Set in New York in 1926, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them explored a world only vaguely connected to the Boy Who Lived. How did Fantastic Beasts end? Here's your quick refresher if you plan on seeing Crimes of Grindelwald ASAP.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is now officially in theaters, and although only two years have passed since the premiere of the franchise's first film, we can only remember so much about the ever-growing Wizarding World.
