Harry Potter fans were given the opportunity of a lifetime recently when many were able to watch the upcoming Wizarding World entry – FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD – before everyone else. On top of getting to rub all of our noses in it they (and a few critics) were able to take to social media to share their reactions and, naturally, they are over the moon with the new, magical outing. According to some of the reactions, this movie tops the previous FB in virtually every way, expanding on the mythos of J.K. Rowling’s world while offering plenty of surprises along the way. Apparently, this movie has a whopper of a finale, so much to the point where fans are being pleaded with to not give any spoilers, and many are sporting #ProtectTheSecrets in their responses.

Though they cannot talk about anything too in-depth, most of those who put out responses seem to be shook by the movie’s more surprising elements, with one critic praising Johnny Depp’s work as Grindelwald as pure genius. This fan response comes before the world premiere this week, which will likely be followed-up with loads more critic and journalist reactions. Check out some of the fan reactions from the screening below!

Fantastic Beasts and The Crimes of Grindelwald is a magical must-see! It builds upon the original & is sure to delight Harry Potter fans. Remarkable visuals, engaging story, & an ending that will leave you speechless. Johnny Depp as Grindelwald is perfection. #CrimesOfGrindewald pic.twitter.com/A0LOjUc6Nn
