Wands at the ready!
Early this morning, the Official Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them twitter account announced the title of the second film in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The film is set to be released in exactly ONE YEAR (I’m kind of excited, if you couldn’t tell) from today.
