** Not only that, we see just how torn he is over his past with Grindelwald, still loving him yet not being able to condone everything Grindelwald had done. When looking at the Mirror of Erised, it's clear that he regards forming the Blood Pact as both a source of regret and a subconscious form of excuse to not directly fight Grindelwald. Although his inaction clearly can't be excused as it still caused many lives, it's still clearly worth sympathizing.
* In a way, whenever Grindelwald speaks about Dumbledore can be considered this. The film and Rowling herself doesn't hide the fact that he still loves Albus, but over the years, that love has been hardened and twisted into deep-rooted jealousy towards anyone who is close to his ex boyfriend and bitterness that the one person who is his equal and probably the only person he really cared for is against him. It's where he doesn't even hide how bitter and affected he is when talking about how he intends to deal with him.



** Theseus breaking down in Newt's arms after Leta's HeroicSacrifice. They were months away from getting married.
** The implication after hearing Leta's backstory is that her sacrifice may have been a case of SuicideByCop.
** Newt himself is also deeply saddened. Imagine being in his shoes. The woman who he never stopped loving even after all these years had just admitted that she still loved him and he had just realized that he too was at fault for how their relationship ended up. Only a few minutes after he realized that, she's killed without him being able to apologize or do anything to fix their relationship. The look on his face upon seeing her death makes him appear as if he's on the verge of tears himself.
** Dumbledore's reaction to her death is also quite heartrending. The script even makes sure to convey just how heartbroken he was over her death and how he regretted not being able to prevent it.

*** Newt's solemn and almost bittersweet expression can also be quite sad. While it's never stated if they had a romantic relationship with one another, it's clear that they both loved one another that way. When Leta acknowledges his feelings for her, it's almost as if he realizes that she never stopped loving him but due to his distance, she ended up falling for and choosing Theseus over him. He may have been falling for Tina, but it's obvious that he felt bad upon realizing that he too had a part in how their relationship ended up.

--> '''Dumbledore''': Regret is my constant companion. Don't let it become yours.
* Meta: Johnny Depp being fired from his role as Grindelwald thanks to being branded as a "wife-beater" after losing his UK trial with The Sun. Even worse is that this claim is proven to be false and that evidence has since shown that his ex-wife Amber was the one abusing him. Moreover, JK Rowling had showed her support to Johnny earlier which lead to him being casted as Grindelwald only to be dropped by WB who continues to employ Ezra Miller and Amber Heard (both of whom have evidence showing abusive behaviour).

* Dumbledore gives his first ever mention to his sister, Ariana, while trying to empathize with Leta for her self hatred for causing Corvus’s death. When Leta asks him if he loved Ariana, he says not enough to have protected her. It’s been about thirty years since she died but it’s clear that incidentally causing her death is the biggest regret of his life and still haunts him.

* As he explains how his Unbreakable Vow compels him to kill the one Corvus Lestrange IV loved the most, Yusuf Kama obviously struggles to ''not'' tell why he won't kill Leta, only for her to stoically push him to admit it: her own father never loved her.
