After the release of the Harry Potter spin-off series Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them we've been anxiously awaiting the release of its sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald. The movie takes place one year after the originial and is set to hit theaters November 16, 2018 but until then, we'll have to take what we can get to hold us over.

Luckily for us, two more photos of Johnny Depp's Grindelwald and Jude Law's Albus Dumbledore have surfaced to give us a little more insight into the movie's sequel.

The sequel finds Grindelwald back on the loose as he starts pulling more over to his side, putting wizards above any other non-magical beings. The only one who may be able to keep him from wreaking any more havoc on the world is none other than Albus Dumbledore himself, according to the official synopsis.

The Fantastic Beasts sequel will bring Eddie Redmayne back into the fold as Newt, with Johnny Depp taking up the role as the main antagonist Grindelwald. Jude Law will play young Dumbledore, and the rest of the cast will be rounded out by personalities like Zoe Kravitz, Katherine Waterston, and Ezra Miller, who all appeared in the first movie.
