DEEPLY ANALYZING THE PLOT OF SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE
In a brief encounter in a Muggle tearoom, Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore confess their shared emotions. Dumbledore calls Grindelwald’s plan insane and claims that the only reason he initially backed it was because he was inexperienced and naive. Grindelwald swears to destroy the Muggle world. In Kweilin, China, in 1932, Newt Scamander assists in the birth of a Qilin, a magical being with the ability to perceive one’s soul and future. Credence Barebone and the rest of Grindelwald’s followers attack the mother, kill her, and take the child hostage. Grindelwald then kills the creature to use its precognitive power. They were unaware that the Qilin were parents of twins; Newt saved the younger of the two. Albus Dumbledore, unable to confront Grindelwald because of their blood contract, enlists Newt, his brother Theseus, Lally Hicks, Senegalese-French wizard Yusuf Kama, American No-Maj Jacob Kowalski, and Newt’s assistant Bunty to stop Grindelwald’s ambition to rule the world.
