A fresh poster forFantastic brute : The Crimes of Grindelwaldhas been released ahead of the Warner Bros. panel atSan Diego Comic - Con , where a fresh preview for the motion-picture show is also expected to drop . As expected , theposterhas Newt Scamander ( Eddie Redmayne ) front and substance , flank by Tina ( Katherine Waterston ) , Queenie ( Allison Sudol ) and Jacob ( Dan Fogler ) , with Jude Law as Dumbledore and Johnny Depp as Grindelwald also sport . But it ’s not the cinema ’s stars that have got fans blab ; rather , the subtle additions to the poster that could tease apart the confirmation of a popular buff theory .
In arecent audience , Redmayne corroborate that not only isFantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwalddarker than the first movie , it ’s also more closelyconnected to theHarry Potterfranchise . Of naturally , the two subsist in the same universe , butFantastic Beastsis set much early thanHarry Potter(the first part guide position in 1926 , with the five - picture series set to end in 1945 ) . However , it seems that J.K. Rowling is laying the foundation for what then happen inHarry Potter ; not only will we seeHogwarts inThe Crimes of Grindelwald , we might also see the creation of one of what will become Voldemort ’s most potent Horcruxes .

When thefirst lagger forFantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwaldwas free , a rooter theory start circulating thatClaudia Kim ’s new character could become Nagini . Kim ’s character does n’t have a name other than Maledictus - a wizard that is born with a curse which means they ’ll eventually twist into a beast - and resides in a traveling carnival where she ’s billed with a picture of a Hydra . impart in the fact that Kim has been wearing snakeskin leging in the promotional image for the movie , it seems likely that , at the very least , she ’s a snake . Now , a bill has further pointed at a Nagini connectedness .
Kim appears in the bottom corner of the posting , withCredence Barebone ( Ezra Miller ) . Winding its way out of her range , is the physical structure of a snake , which coils and weaves through the bill , coming to rest with its head and tail either side of the Deathly Hallows symbolic representation . The snake also loops through Dumbledore and Grindelwald ’s image , symbolically marry them all together . While this does n’t confirm the Nagini theory , it ’s add evidence that repoint towards the snake - currently one of the crowing thespian inHarry Pottermythology without a fleshed out backstory - cause a part to dally in Newt ’s dangerous undertaking .
If Nagini is a part ofFantastic Beasts , then it not only means she ’ll be a much more significant figure in the Wizarding World with ties to Grindelwald , but actually unfold up the possibility of the series take on Tom Riddle and exploring his troubled past . He ’s be intimate to Dumbledore as early as 1938 , and by 1942 he ’s murdered his father and grandparents , all while still a educatee at Hogwarts ; events well within the prequel timeline .
What ’s inescapable is that we ’ll see more and moreHarry Potterreferences as theFantastic Beastsfranchise develops ; Rowling loves to throw away pernicious teasers about what ’s to add up .
