Entertainment Weekly has released an exclusive new image of young Newt Scamander (Joshua Shea) and Professor Dumbledore from the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The scene is presumably a flashback to the events surrounding Scamander’s expulsion from Hogwarts. As we learned in the first film, Scamander was “kicked out of Hogwarts for endangering human life,” according to Percival Graves (Colin Farrell), which likely had something to do with a magical beast.
