Cast
Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander:A British Ministry of Magic employee in the Beasts Division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, as well as a self-proclaimed magizoologist. He played a part in remedying the events of a violent attack in New York City in December 1926 involving dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. He is a confidant of Albus Dumbledore, despite being an outcast from certain circles of the British Wizarding Community due to his checkered past.
Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore:An extremely powerful and influential wizard in the British Wizarding Community, known in the British Ministry of Magic and throughout the wider wizarding world for his academic brilliance, and teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He holds a blood pact with Grindelwald, with whom he was in love and had a close relationship with as a young adult, preventing them from duelling each other.
Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone:The disturbed adopted child of Mary-Lou Barebone, who severely abused him and named him "Credence Barebone". Enraged by people's treatment of him, during the incident of 1926 he set his Obscurus parasite loose in New York City, causing widespread destruction. He survived in a tiny Obscurus fragment and was sought out by Grindelwald. He initially believed that he was Corvus Lestrange, Leta Lestrange's deceased half-brother. However, at the end of the second film, Grindelwald claimed that his real name is Aurelius Dumbledore and that his brother, Albus, would seek to kill him. In the third film, he is identified as being Albus's nephew rather than his brother, as he is actually the illegitimate son of Albus's brother Aberforth.
Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski:An American No-Maj veteran of the First World War, owner of a bakery, friend of Newt, and lover of Queenie. When she returns, he later marries her and Newt serves as his best man.
Alison Sudol as Queenie Goldstein:The pretty and vivacious renegade younger sister of Tina, who worked alongside her in the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). She is a powerful natural Legilimens. After being convinced that Grindelwald will make her dream of marrying Jacob come true, she went rogue and joined his side, eventually abandoning her lover and sister. She later returns to Jacob and they marry at his bakery. Her sister serves as maid of honour.
William Nadylam as Yusuf Kama:A French wizard of Senegalese descent from an old Wizarding family and an ally of Newt, who previously attempted to kill Credence while falsely believing him to be his former stepfather's son, Corvus Lestrange V.
Callum Turner as Theseus Scamander:Newt Scamander's older brother who is a dedicated and loyal Auror, as well as the Head of the Auror Office in the British Ministry of Magic. He is famous for the title "war hero" for his excellent show of bravery and generosity in the First World War. He constantly tries to tame Newt into more elegance so that he is better accepted in society. He lost his fiancée, Leta Lestrange, in September 1927, after she sacrificed herself at Grindelwald's rally in Père Lachaise, Paris to save the Scamander brothers.
Jessica Williams as Eulalie "Lally" Hicks:A respected Charms teacher at America's Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Victoria Yeates as Bunty:Newt Scamander's indispensable Magizoology assistant.
Fiona Glascott as Minerva McGonagall:A teacher at Hogwarts and Albus Dumbledore's colleague.
Richard Coyle as Aberforth Dumbledore: Albus Dumbledore's younger brother, owner of the Hog's Head inn at Hogsmeade, and is the biological father of Credence.
Oliver Masucci as Anton Vogel: The outgoing Supreme Leader of the International Confederation of Wizards (ICW) and Minister of Magic for Germany.
Poppy Corby-Tuech as Vinda Rosier:Grindelwald's loyal right-hand follower.
Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein:An American MACUSA Auror and currently Head of the Auror Office in MACUSA. She is Queenie Goldstein's sister and Newt's love interest. She played a role in thwarting Gellert Grindelwald during the Obscurus incident of 1926, for which she and Newt were initially blamed.
Mads Mikkelsen as Gellert Grindelwald:An infamous powerful dark wizard who caused mass violence, terror and chaos around the globe, seeking to lead a new Wizarding World Order based on his strong belief in wizarding superiority. He had a close relationship with Dumbledore as a teenager. Mikkelsen replaces Johnny Depp, who played Grindelwald in the first two films, due to the latter's libel case with News Group Newspapers Ltd. over his alleged domestic abuse of his ex-wife, Amber Heard. The story does not acknowledge or explain the change in Grindelwald's appearance between films, which Mikkelsen described as a "deliberate" choice.
