I’m cautiously optimistic aboutFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. While I still think the series needs to ditchJohnny Depp, I’m curious about this prequel universeJ.K. Rowlingis concocting. The firstFantastic Beastswas a neat introduction, but now it feels like the story is getting down to business and I thinkThe Crimes of Grindelwaldwill either be a make-or-break entry where fans are on board for the rest of the series or they decide to just peace out and wait for the next three entries as rentals. But before we get ahead of ourselves, we have to see whatThe Crimes of Grindelwaldis going to do.
I’m pleased to announce we’re giving away 35 admit-two passes to the Atlanta screening ofFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Here’s the official synopsis forFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald:
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most 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 (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, 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.
