The second installment of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald comes November 16 and we got the final trailer which revealed much more then we were ready for. In the new promo, we learned that Claudia Kim’s character is Nagini from the Harry Potter series. This Nagini reveal has been received with mixed emotions, check out a few of the tweets we saw.

J.K. Rowling jumped in as well to defend the Nagini decision after many called the casting and the role racist.
The Naga are snake-like mythical creatures of Indonesian mythology, hence the name ‘Nagini.’ They are sometimes depicted as winged, sometimes as half-human, half-snake. Indonesia comprises a few hundred ethnic groups, including Javanese, Chinese and Betawi. Have a lovely day ????

Whether you’re into the reveal or not, the rest of the trailer shows us more about Dumbledore (Jude Law) and we get a glimpse of Grindelwald’s (Johnny Depp) awesome power. We know Newt (Eddie Redmayne) will do his best to save the day, no matter what happens. Take a look at the trailer below to see all the new things we learned and why we can’t wait for this movie!
So, what do you think? Are you outraged over Nagini? Sound off on social media! We feel that this reveal does even more to show just how evil Voldemort’s character truly was.
