Being the wisest and most intellectual character of the entire Harry Potter series, Albus Dumbledore is a legend, beyond any doubt. So, The Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore has been one of the most hyped releases of the year, 2022.
If you’ve been wondering what the Fantastic Beasts trilogy is about, we’ve got you covered! Catching up with the Potterheads and their ‘fantastic’ worlds can be overwhelming. So, we decided to break down the plot of The Secrets of Dumbledore, with a sneak peek of the history at Hogwarts.
The Plot of The Secrets of Dumbledore
The plot centers around the two dynamic characters of Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald. The latter is a dark wizard, who is about to take charge of the wizarding world. Hence, the wise old Professor Dumbledore entrusts Mr. Newt Scamander to train a loyal troop of witches and wizards, who will fight for the cause.
Newton “Newt” Scamander is a popular Magizoologist, British wizard, and the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. In his early life, Newt Scamander had an intense interest in magical creatures. The character of Newt Scamander does not appear directly in Rowling’s original book series. However, if you pay closer attention to the names in the Marauder’s Map in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban film, you can spot this fictional character.

According to the plot, Albus Dumbledore confronted and fought Gellert Grindelwald in a ‘legendary duel,’ in 1945. Needless to say, Potterheads have been eagerly waiting to see the fighting sequence in the newly released film, is further heated by the trailer of the Fantastic Beasts 3!
