Gellert Grindelwald

Now operating openly in Europe, recruiting followers with a vision of wizarding supremacy that is seductive precisely because it contains elements of genuine grievance.

Albus Dumbledore

A young Hogwarts professor unable to move openly against his former friend Grindelwald — the nature of his reluctance is hinted at but not yet fully explained.

Jacob Kowalski

Returning from New York with his memories of the magical world restored, Jacob's loyalty to Newt and his feelings for Queenie put him at the heart of the film's personal stakes.
