Thats not the driver in this film, its not a central part of the plot.

But beasts feature in the film and feature strongly.

As for what familiar beasts might make an appearance, Redmayne mentioned a couple species.

Theres a Chinese creature thats formidable, he teases.

There are some of the old favorites: The Niffler is back and causing havoc.

Crimes of Grindelwaldis released Nov. 16, 2018.
