Fantastic Beasts Crimes of Grindelwald Trailer

This week delivered all sorts of wondrous wizardry in the form of the first official Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer as well as the first LEGO set from the upcoming sequel.

  • Flap the Thestral’s wings to make a flying escape!
  • Also includes shooting spell accessories on the hands of Seraphina and Grindelwald.
  • Recreate iconic scenes from the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
