Potterverse is back again with Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore. The film, which is the third installment in the series and 11th in the Potterverse, will showcase Jude Law’s Dumbledore go against Mads Mikkelse’s Grindelwald for the first time. While most fans know this, we saw many new things in the trailer which got us excited and one thing that disappointed us. Let’s check them out but first check out the trailer, if you haven’t.
J.K. Rowling Returns
As you might be aware, Rowling received immense backlash and controversy due to her comments about the Trans issue. This is considered to be one of the reasons why she wasn’t properly credited in the first trailer and was also absent from Harry Potter reunion special. She was there but just the archival footages were used. Being the lore creator and the co-writer/producer of the film, this was quite a shocker to her fans. Anyways this trailer celebrates her name once again and displays “From J.K. Rowling” in bold and caps. Obviously, fans noticed this and were happy to see her name.
Phoenix Is All Grown Up
Another cool thing about the trailer was Dumbledore’s trustee Phoenix, which looked incredible and huge! Although Phoenix’ CGI in the trailer doesn’t look smooth and consistent, it still looks badass. It looked bigger that it ever has before in the series, I mean, it almost looks like a dragon!

Well, this is not something you might have missed but a thing that got us all hyped. In an action packed sequence we will see Dumbledore go up against his one time friend/lover Grindelwald. It might be a heartbreaking moment for many but one thing is for sure, this sequence is going to be epic. We all went nuts when Dumbledore went against Voldermort in The Order of The Phoenix and this is shaping up to be like that moment.
Things Don’t Look Good for Theseus
In one tiny frame in the trailer that Theseus seems to be in danger. Fans were quick to note this and they fear for him. “’And it was in that moment he knew.. he fucked up’ 😂 Hoping he’ll be safe🥺Newt will save his big brother”, expressed a fan. While another said, “I have the feeling he’s gonna die”. As we know the Potterverse is not all hearts and roses and many beloved characters die here.
Credence Doesn’t Look Fine Either

Credence, portrayed by Ezra Miller (The Flash) was revealed to be Aurelius Dumbledore which ended Crimes of Grindelwald on a high note. Its a pity how that film had a great opening and ending but still wasn’t good. Anyways, Credence/Aurelius seems to be lying unconscious on the ground and Dumbledore is seen trying to hold him down or revive him. Jude Law’s Dumbledore has a grave, almost teary expression on his face which makes us believe this scene would be messed up.
Tina is Absent From The Trailer
Tina Goldstein portrayed by Katherine Waterston is missing from both the trailer, as well as the poster. This is quite unfortunate for the actress as she definitely is in the film, yet isn’t being celebrated. As you may know, this is also owing to the J.K. Rowling controversy as Waterston openly opposed Rowling’s views. Many fans were disappointed by this move and criticized the bias.
We are sure there must be many more important details in this trailer which we might have missed. Feel free to suggest us more in the comments section below.
