FANTASTIC BEASTS: The Secrets of Dumbledore Movie Review

In a few days, many secrets will be revealed in Warner Bros. Pictures and Wizarding World's third installment of the Fantastic Beast franchise. The Secrets of Dumbledore reveals many shocking details that will have you at the edge of your seats.


Actually the first secret is revealed right at the very start. It is something that Potterheads might be suspecting for a long time but the movie serves it to us unprepared. It sets the mood for a dramatic relationship that will be somehow exciting but painful for our protagonist.

While Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) continues to amaze us with the magical creatures of the magical world, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) prepares against a plot by Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) that is set to destroy their world. With a team of wizards and a muggle who slowly learns to be one, who knew that they can be victorious.

The Secrets of Dumbledore also has political elements that mirror universally interesting topics. It also brings us closer to Hogwarts, I think that we'll soon meet the characters that will go around Harry Potter aka the Boy Who Lived. 

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore opens in Philippine theaters this Black Saturday, April 16. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines.
