Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: New Trailer Reveals a Looming War Between No-Maj and the Wizarding World

We're less than two months away from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but to hold you over these next several weeks is a new trailer!

Ellen DeGeneres debuted the new preview Wednesday morning, giving Harry Potter-turned-Fantastic Beasts fans a little magic to get through hump day. Although there have been previous trailers that have given Muggles No-Maj an inside look at some of the magical creatures escaping from main character's Newt Scamander case, this one gives viewers a better glimpse into the action that's to come. Based on new scenes included in this preview, it's clear that there's going to be a war. 

Colin Farrell's character is on the hunt for Newt's creatures, but with so many on the loose the No-Maj are starting to realize they're living among witches and wizards. But with war on the horizon, Farrell's Percival Graves isn't going to risk exposing his people. 

Redmayne also shared details about the forthcoming trilogy with Entertainment Weekly earlier this year, giving fans a little bit of insight beyond what can be seen in the trailers. "There is a dark aspect to it; I think it's going to be surprising how moving it is," he said of the film's tone. 

And for fans wondering why author J.K. Rowling opted to set the movie in 1920s New York City, Redmayne revealed, "It feels like the world is on a precipice. Everyone's a bit nervous. There are things happening that make everyone uncomfortable, and people have a choice to make about which side they want to stand on."
