Compared with the first film, the roles of the hero and heroine are diluted by Grindelwald and Dumbledore. The theme of this episode is not about animals. The main line of the story seems to be a little bit to solve the mystery of the boy who is "who am I".
So this one is more like a more detailed introduction to the magician who appeared as Grindelwald in the last scene of the first film. In eliciting a series of story lines, the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is more like the prequel of "Harry Potter", although there is no Harry Potter, but it is still the story of the wizarding world.
The end of this one raises a question that needs to be addressed in the next sequel. The boy of "Who am I", about his existence, the mystery of his life experience. Is he also a member of the Dumbledore family? So that's the gist of what the next movie needs to peel back a little bit.
My personal guess: Could the "Who Am I" boy be the child of Principal Dumbledore's sister? Because of the brief dialogue between Leta and Dumbledore in the film, Dumbledore mentioned that he did not do enough to express his feelings for his sister. This got me thinking. To understand each other from their point of view, empathy is the part that best explains the ineffable.
Grindelwald and Dumbledore don't face each other. Then Grindelwald needs someone who can stand up to Dumbledore. Possessing the same bloodline may have the potential to exert great power. How much power is on the front, how much power can be erupted on the negative side, if you believe in the concept of the balance of all things, it may be understandable. As the villain, Grindelwald wants to do his best to lure out the dark power in the boy with the same surname as Dumbledore, compete with his strongest "opponent", and defeat him.
Although this one, Newt and Tina are more like supporting characters, implicitly depicting the taste of their love. As the audience thought it would be best for them to be together. But after all, I am not a screenwriter, so the ending is difficult to say. I really hope they are in love and happy together, with their group of animal friends.
So, we are looking forward to the next one.
