In Theaters: *****Fantastic Beasts: Crimes 0f Grindelwald (2018)

*****Fantastic Beasts: Crimes 0f Grindelwald (2018)  This movie came out for Thanksgiving and I have viewed it three times.  I always love the Harry Potter movies.  Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) is really evil.  Not only is he evil, but he has a special magnetism wherein people like him.  Contrary to that is our team of two couples, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and then Tina’s sister, Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol) and Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) who would make a formidable team but they are all breaking up and at odds with each other.  However in this mess, Queenie is enticed by Grindelwald, and the promise of free love with non-magical people.  Two characters play part in this story from Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, a younger version (Jude Law) and Nicholas Flamel (Brontis Jodorowsky).  In fact it is Flamel who saves they day when the aurors, including Newt’s brother, get over their heads trying to confront Grindelwald.  I love every minute of this.  I even purchased the screen plan and read it again so I wouldn’t miss anything.  Great fun!
