Small details you missed in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

 



Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald finally brings together the story of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and his old professor Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law), as the story journeys back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry long before it would be violated by the Dark Lord and his army of deatheaters.

The film picks up where Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them left off, as Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) inevitably escapes the clutches of the Ministry of Magic and begins his mission to conquer the world so wizards can roam free without fear of persecution by non-magical people. And since Dumbledore and Grindelwald have a very complicated history with one another — even bound by blood to never fight — the former takes some serious convincing before he'll get involved against his former friend-slash-flame. In the process, there are a ton of Easter eggs planted throughout the picture that only true Harry Potter aficionados are bound to catch. Here's a look at some of the finer details in Fantastic Beasts 2 you might've missed. Spoilers ahead!

The first signing that Chelsea will be eyeing is Juventus’ Alex Sandro for a reported £50m, although the Blues will have to battle with the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City to win the Brazilian’s signature.
