Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore trailer

Just as the words ‘Fantastic Beasts’ in the logo grow smaller, both trailers, released on December 13th 2021 and February 28th 2022, seem to show that the series of films are focusing more and more on the backstory of Albus Dumbledore than on Newt Scamander’s beasts.

Although there are a few beasts to see in the trailers, the main focus seems to be on the past of the Dumbledore family, with Aberforth Dumbledore appearing and the revelation at the end of the previous film that Credence Barebone is potentially also a Dumbledore sibling.

The second trailer also shows Dumbledore directly battling both Grindelwald and Credence, highlighting that Jude Law’s Hogwarts Professor will be taking a more active role in the upcoming film.

Both trailers also suggest that the film will be spending more time at Hogwarts than previous ones, with shots of the exterior, Great Hall, classrooms, and even the mysterious Room of Requirement.

Grindelwald is also seen to be stepping up his “war against the Muggles”, with newcomer Mads Mikkelsen taking the helm as the series’ villain.
