'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' Spoilers
As fans would have noticed, movie makers hid a lot of easter eggs in the two-minute movie trailer. The Scotsman listed out some of the spotted clues.
Since the story's main focus is on Dumbledore, the latest movie might explore the hidden past of the Dumbledore family. This gets especially obvious with Aberforth Dumbledore's appearance.
The incoming movie would also be exploring the school of Hogwarts, although on a different timeline from the "Harry Potter" series. Regardless, fans can look forward to the return of the Great Hall, the Room of Requirement and the other classrooms.
Later in the trailer, Grindelwald says something about his "war against the Muggles." This implies a huge fight at the end of the series and possibly even a sequel movie.
With the lack of clues, the full details for the movie are hard to determine at this point. However, this might be enough to give fans an idea of what to expect.
More details for the incoming "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" movie might be revealed in the coming months, especially as the release date gets closer.
