Albus: The time's coming, Newt... when you're going to have to pick a side.

[from trailer]
Newt: You want me to hunt him down? To kill him?

- Who am I?
- I don't know.
- I'm tired of living with no name and no history.
- Just tell me my story, then you can end it.
- Your story is our story.
- -Our story.
- -No, Yusuf.

- I love you.
- Go!
- Go!
- -[gasps]
- -[struggling]
- I hate Paris.

- I brought it.
- I can show it to you. Here.
- Maybe you can help me find it here.
- It'sjust in here. Oh!
- Rabbits! If you can just wait one moment!
- I know it's in here somewhere.
- I definitely packed it.
- Where is it?
- What did I do with you?

- Did you love her?
- Not as well as I should have done.
- Never too late to free yourself.
- Confession is a relief, I'm told.
- A great weight lifted.
- Regret is my constant companion.
- Do not let it become yours.

- in a single leap.
Newt: Oh, good boy.
- Jacob, she was here.
- Tina stood here.
- She has incredibly narrow feet.
- Have you noticed?
- Then someone came towards her.

Tina: Mr. Scamander, I need to go talk to the Ministry-and I know how you feel about Aurors...
Newt: I may have been a little strong in the way that I expressed myself in that letter...
Tina: What was the exact phrase? "A bunch of careerist hypocrites"?
Newt: Sorry, but I can't admire people whose answer to everything that they fear or misunderstand is "kill it"!
Tina: I'm an Auror and I don't!
Newt: Yes, and that's because you've gone middle head!
Tina: Excuse me?
Newt: It's an expression derived from the three heads of the Runespoor. The middle one is the visionary. Every Auror in Europe wants Credence dead, except you. You've gone middle head.
Tina: Who else uses that expression, Mr. Scamander?
Newt: I think it might just be me.

- There's a story in my family that a phoenix will come to any Dumbledore in desperate need.
- They say my great-grandfather had one.

Gellert: My brothers... my sisters. The clock is ticking faster. My dream, we who live, for truth, for love. The moment has come, to take our rightful place... in the world, where we wizards... are free. Join me... or die.

Albus: I take it you've heard to rumors. Grindelwald had a vision that he would rise to dominance over the Wizarding world.
Newt: So you're asking me to help hunt him down.

- There you are.
- What did Travers want?
- Absolutely outrageous behavior.
- Marching into a school like that.
- It was all very mundane,
- I'm fine, sorry, Minerva, lot of marking.

Jacob: Yeah, what I meant to say was...
- -No, she's very pretty.
- -She's intense too.
- I think I saw someone like this last night.
- Perhaps if I showed you where...
- If you wouldn't mind. That would be...
- -That would be lovely.
- -Sure.

- You and Grindelwald were as close as brothers.
- Oh, we were closer than brothers.

[groans] I didn't like that Portkey, Newt.

- Follow me.
- Confundus.
- {giggling}
- {Jacobiaughs}
Newt: Come on.
- It'll wear off in a few minutes.

[from trailer]
Albus: Do you know why I admire you, Newt? You do not seek power. You simply ask, "Is a thing... right?"

- Queenie.
Tina: Queenie!

- Over time, she will not be able to transform back.

- -[groans]
- -[audience gasps]

- -[lively music playing]
- -[people cheering]
- -[indistinct chattering]
- -[creature growling]

Gellert: [as Newt and Theseus confront him] Mr. Scamander! Do you think Dumbledore will mourn for you?

- I want to know who I am.

- only in rare souls.
- It is granted to those who live for higher things.

- I've only ever seen that in...

- -[gasps]
- Come.
Leta: Lestrange.
- Whoa!

- Bunty!
- Bunty!
- Bunty, the baby Nifflers are loose again.

Albus: Do you know why I admire you, Newt?
Newt: What?
Albus: More perhaps than any man I know? You do not seek power or popularity. You simply ask, is a thing... right, in itself? And if it is, you do it no matter the cost!

- -[thunder rumbling]
- -[wind howling]
- Irma was to pose as a grandmother with two grandchildren.

Queenie: You've been real kind, but my sister Tina's probably worried sick about me, you know. Banging on all the doors and things, so I think I'd better be going.
Rosier: But you haven't met your host.
Queenie: Oh, are you married?
Rosier: Let's say... deeply committed.
Queenie: You see, I can't tell if you're making a joke or if you're just... French.
[Rosier laughs and leaves]

- I did not want to leave you there.
Credence: Why didn't they want me?
- Why is your name on my adoption paper?
- I took you to Mrs. Barebone because she was supposed to look after you.

Gellert: Magic blooms... only in rare souls. Still, we must skulk in shadows. But the old ways serve us no longer.

- And Elsie?
- Elsie's droppings are nearly normal again.
- Wonderful.
- You can, um... You can clock off now.
- -I told you to leave the kelpie to me.
- -That wound needs more ointment.
- I don't want you losing fingers over it.

- -He died.
- -I know.
- -How many times, Theseus?
- -And the records will prove that.
- -Okay? They can't lie.
- -Theseus.
- I want every person at that rally arrested. If they resist--
- Sir, forgive me, but if we go in too heavy,
- -don't we run the risk of adding to--
- -Just do it.

- Oh, Newt.
- You never met a monster you couldn't love.
Tina: Leta...
- Do you know who Credence really is?
- Did you know when you swapped them?
- No.

- I am not your mother.
- I was only a servant.
- You were so beautiful a baby.
- And you are a beautiful man.

- -They guard the Ministry.
- -[growling]
- But they won't hurt you unless you--
- Stupefy!
- Unless you attack them.
- Oops.
- -Leta.
- -[Leta] Reverte.

Credence: What if she doesn't want me?
Nagini: Make it happen.
- What?
- Because we're free.

[Dumbledore] Well done.
- -[students applauding]
- -Good job. Leta.
- It's only a Boggart.
- It can't hurt you.
- Everyone is scared of something.
- I've been looking fonNard to this.

Grindelwald: You have joined a noble cause, my friend.
- I know. I know. I know, Antonio.
- So needy.

- Ventus.
- -[wind whooshing]
- -[gasps]

- Stop! Shame on the House of Slytherin.
- A hundred points! Two hundred!
- Get back here, right now!
[boy 1] Out of my way!
[boy 2] Where has she gone?
[boy 3] I think she went that way!
- Miss, it was Lestrange. She's horrible.

- who can kill him.
- You really think he can kill the Great...
- Can kill Albus Dumbledore?
- I know he can.

- Will you?

- Yes, this is Leta Lestrange.
- And, uh, I'm her--
- Fiance.
- Thank you.

[from trailer]
Albus: [to Newt] I can't move against Grindelwald. It has to be you.

- Avensegium.
- -Right. Follow that feather.
- -What?
- -Jacob, follow the feather.
- -Follow the feather.
- Where is he?
- Accio Niffler.
- Drop the bucket.

- -[creature roaring]
- -[screaming continues]
- Credence!
- Pack it up.
- Paris is done for us now.

- Is he frightened of me still?

- -[bone cracks]
- -Oh!
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
- -I didn't--
- -Oh... Oh!

- We want only freedom.
- Freedom to be ourselves.
- To annihilate non-wizards.
- Not all of them. Not all.
- We're not merciless.
- The beast of burden will always be necessary.

- Like the mind reading.
- I was lucky to have someone like her even interested in anything I thought.
- You know what I mean?
- Sorry?
- I was saying, you're sure the guy is here that we're looking for?
- Yeah, definitely. The feather says so.

- So nothing gets out without my say-so.
- -[whistles]
- -[sniffing]
- Come on.
- Get a move on.
- All right then, Accio necklace.
- Now you set a good example.

- I'm coming, baby. Stay right there.
- Thank you, Mr. Flamel.
- -Ouch.
- -l'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay.
- Oh, look after Mr. Tentacles for me.
- Oh, no.
- I'm sorry. I gotta go.
[Flamel] Please, you mustn't go to the cemetery.

Grindelwald: Mr. Scamander.
- Do you think Dumbledore will mourn for you?

- Queenie, the family tree.
- It's all been bait.
- We have to find a way out of here right now.
- You go find the others.
- What are you gonna do?
- I'll think of something.

- Seven.
- Six.
- Mmm...
- Foun
- Three. Two.
- One.

[from trailer]
Tina: [Theseus stops Tina and Newt as they're running] That's your brother?
Newt: [traps Theseus onto a chair with magic] I think that might have been the best moment of my life!

- Hide the teaspoons.
Grindelwald: You have suffered the most heinous of betrayals, most purposely bestowed upon you by your own blood.
- Your own flesh and blood.
- And just as he has celebrated your torment, your brother seeks to destroy you.

[first lines]
Spielman: [to Picquery; about Grindelwald] ... you'll be glad to get rid of him, I expect.
Seraphina: We'd be more than happy to keep him here in custody.
Spielman: Six months are enough. It's time for him to answer for his crimes in Europe.
Abernathy: [meets them at Grindelwald's door] President Picquery, Mr. Spielman, sir. Prisoner is secured and ready to travel.
Spielman: [peers into the cell with Picquery] You've thrown everything at him, I see.
Seraphina: It was necessary. He's extremely powerful. We've had to change his guard three times - he's very... persuasive. So we removed his tongue.

- Your wand into the earth.
- Or all Paris will be destroyed.
[both] Finite!
- Finite!
- Finite!
- Finite!

- Take this young warrior back to her family.
- Disapparate.
- Leave.
- Go forth from this place and spread the word.
- It is not we who are violent.
- Let's take him.

Newt: [trying to catch Kama's attention] Er - bonjour. Bonjour, monsieur.
[Kama ignores Newt]
Newt: Oh wait, no, sorry. We were... we were actually just wondering if you'd come across a friend of ours?
Jacob: Tina Goldstein.
Yusuf: Monsieur, Paris is a large city.
Newt: She's an Auror. When Aurors go missing, the Ministry tend to come looking, so... No, now I suppose it would probably be better if we just report her absence...
Yusuf: She is tall? Dark? Rather...
Jacob: - intense?
Newt: [at the same time as Jacob] - beautiful?
[gives Jacob a glare]
Jacob: [hasty] Yeah, what I meant to say... she's very - very pretty...
Newt: She's intense, too.

- -He needs me.
- -[baby bird chirping]
- He was hurt.
- What is that?
- A raven chick.
- Isn't the raven your family emblem?
- -[Young Leta] Yes, it is.
- -[chirping continues]

Jacob: [pointing to the cliffs] Who is that man?
Newt: He's the only way I could leave the country without permission. You do not easily nauseated when traveling, right?
Jacob: [fearful] I do not like riding a boat, Newt.
Newt: You'll be fine.
Portkey: Should have been set off in 1 minute. 50 Galleon.
Newt: [reluctant] No, he said 30.
Portkey: 30 to go to France. 20 to close the mouth to the other I saw Newt Scamander leave the country without permission. That price, a friend.

- Seriously, you go home now, Bunty.
- You must be exhausted.
- You know the kelpie's easier with two.
- Perhaps you should take off your shirt.
- Don't worry. l'll dry offquick enough.

[from trailer]
Albus: The time's coming... when you're gonna have to pick a side.
Newt: [to Theseus] No, I don't do sides.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's a blood pact, isn't it?
- You swore not to fight each other.
- How in the name of Merlin did you manage to get...
- Grindelwald doesn't seem to understand the nature of the things he considers simple.

Jacob: What do you got there?
- What are you gonna do?
- What are you gonna do with that,
- Mr. Scamander?
- Surgito.

- You are the winged raven, returned from the sea, but I'm the avenger of my family's ruin.
- I pity you, Corvus.
- But you must die.
- Corvus Lestrange is already dead!
- I killed him!
- Accio!

Spielman: The wizarding community worldwide owes you a great debt, Madam President.
- Do not underestimate him.
- Mr. Spielman, we found his wand hidden away.
- Abernathy.
- And we found this.

[from trailer]
Torquil: There's a rumor that Newt Scamander is headed to Paris. I know he's working under your orders. What do you have to say for yourself, Dumbledore?
Albus: If you'd ever had the pleasure to teach him, you'd know Newt is not a great follower of orders.

Grimmson: Well, gentlemen...
- I assume this means I have thejob.

Leta: Oh, Newt. You never met a monster you couldn't love.

Gellert: I hate Paris.

- Queenie, honey. Queenie.
- You gotta wake up.
- Jacob.
- He's the answer.
- He wants what we want.
- -No.
- -Yeah.

- I would never see you harmed.
- Even
- It is not your fault that your sister is an Auror.
- I wish you were working with me now towards a world where we wizards were free to live openly.
- To love freely.

- Accio!
- Ascendio!

Albus: Muggles are not lesser. Not disposable.

- Jacob?
- -[echoing chatter continues]
- -[thunder rumbling]

- So desirable.
- But soon, she will be trapped forever in a very different body.
- Every night when she sleeps, mesdames et messieurs, she is forced to become...
- -She is forced to become...
- -[audience chattering]
- She is forced to become...

- Come closer, brother wizards. Join us.
- Do nothing.
- And no force.

Auror: Move! Run! Run!
- Play by the rules!
- -No cheating, children.
- -[Aurors screaming]
- He knows who I am.
- He knows what you were born, not who you are!
Newt: Credence!

Newt: Tina, about Leta...
Tina: Yes, I've just said, I am happy for you...
Newt: Please don't be happy. Uh, sorry, I don't... Obviously I want you to be. And I hear that you are now, which is wonderful. What I'm trying to say is, I want you to be happy, but don't be happy that I'm happy, because I'm not.
[off her confusion]
Newt: Happy. Or engaged.
Tina: [taken aback] What?
Newt: It was a mistake in a stupid magazine. My brother's marrying Leta, June 6th. I'm supposed to be best man. Which is sort of mildly hilarious.
Tina: Does he think you're here to win her back? Are you here to win her back?
Newt: No, I'm here to... You know, your eyes really are...
Tina: Are what?
Newt: I'm not supposed to say. I got this picture of you from the paper, but it's interesting because your eyes in newsprint. See, in reality they have this effect in them, Tina. It's like fire in water, in dark water. I've only ever seen that... I've only ever seen that in...
Tina: Salamanders?

Newt: Not now, Jacob.
Jacob: Chocolat chaud or...
- Just for a second?
- -I don't know.
- -[Newt] This way. Come on.
Jacob: Pain au chocolat?
- Half a croissant and a bonbon?
Newt: This way.
- Jacob!

[from trailer]
Newt: Dumbledore, why can't you go?
Albus: I can't move against Grindelwald. It has to be you.

- Oh, that is an outrageous accusation.
- Look at him.
- He's just happy. He's so happy.
- Then you won't mind if I, um...
- Please don't.
Newt: Queenie, you've got nothing to fear if he wants to get married.
- We can just lift the enchantment, and he can tell us himself.

- I only wanted to be free of him.
- Just for a moment.
- -Just a single moment.
- -[crying continues]
- Give him to me.
Sailor: Everyone, to the lifeboats!
[woman] They want us to put on life jackets.

[from trailer]
Albus: [gives Newt an address in a bus] Address.
Newt: What's that?
Albus: A safe house in Paris.
Newt: Why would I need a safe house in Paris?
Albus: Should things, at some point, go terribly wrong, it's good to have a place to go. You know, for a cup of tea.

- It pains me to say it because I don't like you...
- But...
- You are the only wizard who is his equal.
- I need you to fight him.
- I can't.
- Because of this?

[after Newt has removed Queenie's enchantment from Jacob]
Newt: Congratulations on your engagement, Jacob.
Jacob: [confused] Wait, what?
[Jacob turns to Queenie]
Jacob: Oh no! You didn't.
[she leaves]
Jacob: Queenie!
[to Newt]
Jacob: It's very nice to see you. Where the hell am I right now?
Newt: London.
Jacob: [frustrated] Oh! I always wanted to go here!

- Well done, Pick.
- So you need this man, you said?
- Yeah.
- I think he knows where Credence is, Mr. Scamander.
- Well, that'll be that Zouwu.
- -[roaring]
- -[people screaming]

- Their barbarity.
- How long will it take before they turn their weapons on us?
- Do nothing when I speak of this.
- You must remain calm and contain your emotions.
- There are Aurors here among us.

Leta: Grindelwald! Stop!
- Leta...

- Uh, I've been looking for food, and I ain't found any, so I guess I'm gonna go upstairs and try my luck in, oh, I don't know, the attic.
Newt: You're all right.
- Relashio.
- Okay.

- -No.
- -l'm gonna go see my sister.
- Fine. See your sister.
- -Fine.
- -No, wait! Wait!
- No! Queenie!
- I didn't mean it.
- I didn't say nothin'.

[whispers] Return, great avenger, with wings from the water.
- Congratulations, Leta.
- Your brother lives.
- We all truly believe it.

Torquil: Now, it pains me to say it, because-well, I don't like you-but, you are the only wizard who is his equal. I need you to fight him.
Albus: I can't.
Torquil: Because of this?
[shows moving pictures of teenage Dumbledore and teenage Grindelwald]
Torquil: You and Grindelwald were as close as brothers.
Albus: Oh we were closer than brothers.

[from trailer]
Credence: [watches as a Maledictus transforms into Nagini the snake] Nagini...

Young: I'm scared, Professor Dumbledore.
Albus: Everyone is scared of something.
Hogwarts: Riddikulus!
Albus: [students clap] Newt, you're up next.
[Newt's Boggart takes the shape of a desk]
Albus: That's an unusual one. What Mr. Scamander fears above everything else is...
Young: Having to work in an office, sir.
[students laugh]
Albus: [smiles] Go ahead, Newt.
Young: Riddikulus!

- They're ready for you, Newt.
- Leta.
- What are you doing here?
- Theseus thought it would be good if I became part of the Ministry family.
- Did he actually say the words
- "Ministry family"?
- -[|aughs]
- -That sounds like my brother.

- -How have you been? [laughs]
- -You sly dog.
[woman] Is it her?
- It is, look.
[whispering] Her brother's alive.
[man] The prediction is true.
- Her brother will lead us from the shadows.

Gellert: [to Queenie] Queenie, we are not here to hurt you. We only want to help you. You're so very, very far from home. Far away from everything you love. Everything that was comfortable. I would never see you harmed, ever. It is not your fault that your sister is an Auror. I wish you were working with me now. Towards a world where we wizards are free to live openly, and to love freely.
