[[WMG:Alternatively, Newt will realize his feelings for Tina because through Patronus charms.]]
J.K.Rowling has stated that Newt's patronus is a heavy spoiler. A person's patronus can change from significant changes in character, such as an unconscious LoveEpiphany (like Dora Tonks' going from Jackrabbit to Wolf). Newt will cast his Patronus, and unexpectedly, a [[AnimalMotif Porcu]][[ThemeNaming pine]][[note]]"porpentine" is an old-fashioned word for Porcupine[[/note]] will come forth instead of what he was expecting to see.

As this film has been described as DarkerAndEdgier than [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem the preceding film before it]], the stakes could be raised by Grindelwald possibly killing someone. Candidates include:
* Theseus Scamander. He was fighting along with Newt in the final minutes of the first trailer.

[[WMG: The Snake Girl/Maledictus is Nagini or at least somehow related to her.]]
Otherwise, why all the secrecy? It also explains why Nagini isn't anything like any real snake species. In real life, venomous snakes don't get very big. Large, thick snakes like Nagini tend to be constrictors rather than vipers.

[[WMG: Dumbledore is using the Mirror of Erised as a test of his character.]]
Dumbledore feels that he can't face off personally against Grindelwald until he's sure that he's no longer carrying a torch for him. Otherwise, he might be able to tempt Dumbledore into joining his side. Dumbledore will not face Grindelwald until he looks in the mirror and sees anything but Grindelwald at his side; be that Grindelwald dead, Ariana alive or a nice pair of socks.

[[WMG: Young Voldemort will appear.]]
He was stated to be of the age to be at Hogwarts during The Blitz, so his birth and formative years were in the 20's/30's. A good oppurtunity for Tom to make a cameo appearance.

[[WMG: Newt's relationship with Tina will be sealed when he encounters a Bogart.]]
Newt will run afoul of a Bogart that, to his shock and horror, takes on the form of Tina's dead body. It will trigger a flashback to his first encounter with a Bogart when his biggest fear was being tied to a boring desk job. In the flashback, Dumbledore will not want to reveal his Bogart (the corpse of Ariana) but will tell the students that adult wizards and witches tend to have [[AdultFear complex fears]] that can't be dispelled easily with the Riddikulus charm. Adult Newt will understand that Tina now means everything to him and a quiet life with her while writing books about his adventures is actually starting to feel very attractive.

* Seraphina Picquery. This could completely cripple the MACUSA, creating untold chaos.



[[WMG:An ActionPrologue will occur, where it details how Grindelwald escapes from being led to prison.]]
It would be a hell of a way to kick off the movie, and show just how far-reaching Grindelwald's villainous popularity reaches for this supporters.

[[WMG:The film will have the longest runtime in the "Wizarding World" film series.]]
The current record-holder is ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberSecrets'', clocking at 161 minutes.

[[WMG:The ending...]]
It could be either of the following:
* A marriage proposal between Jacob and Queenie. Would be a neat CallBack to the first film's ending, where Queenie entered Jacob's bakery, and latter began to recognize her.
* Alternatively, Leta's and Theseus's marriage, showing how the latter has succumbed to her manipulations.
* The seeds of war being planted between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and a final shot showing Grindelwald's army walking as a crowd.
* A complete DownerEnding, with the good guys broken and demoralized by their defeat to Grindelwald.
* The opposite of the aforementioned quote, where the good guys win, Grindelwald has a WeWillMeetAgain tirade, and Newt and Tina showing the first signs of a romantic relationship.

* Technically, ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Chamber of Secrets]]'' has a post-credits joke featuring Gilderoy Lockhart's post-amnesia book ''Who Am I?'', so it wouldn't be the first, though it could be the first one with plot relevance.

[[WMG:Dumbledore's sexuality will be made clear.]]
J.K. Rowling has been vocal in her support of social justice but she has also been criticized for only making Dumbledore gay through WordOfGay and not making this fact explicit in the books themselves. She may want to rectify this situation by making it unambiguously clear in this film that Dumbledore was romantically attracted to Grindelwald.

[[WMG:Viktor Krum's grandfather will appear.]]
Krum mentions that his grandfather was murdered by Grindelwald or his supporters, so would make sense for him to be a character in this film or one of its sequels.

[[WMG:Credence is in a romantic relationship with Claudia Kim's character.]]
As the two have been seen in a wizarding freakshow, the two may have bonded over their differences that cause their society to hate them: Credence with his Obscuius powers, and Claudia Kim's character with her blood curse.

[[WMG:There will be a major character death.]]
As this film has been described as DarkerAndEdgier than [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem the preceding film before it]], the stakes could be raised by Grindelwald possibly killing someone. Candidates include:
* Theseus Scamander. He was fighting along with Newt in the final minutes of the first trailer.
* Credence. Grindelwald could see his Obscurius powers as dangerous in the wrong hands.

[[WMG:Modesty will return.]]
[[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Her fate was left ambiguous in the first film]], so the sequel can hopefully elaborate on that.

[[WMG:The film will have the first ever [[TheStinger stinger]] in the "Wizarding World" film series.]]

[[WMG: Newt's Patronus will be plot-important because it cements his relationship with Tina.]]
Rowling has stated that telling us Newt's Patronus would be a spoiler so it's obviously going to be plot-important. We also know the following: A) Leta Lestrange, an old friend of Newt's, will be in the film, B) Tina and Newt both have difficulty with people and emotions and C) that it is possible for your Patronus to say something about your romantic partner (James and Lily's matching stag and doe, Snape's own doe for [[TheOneThatGotAway his beloved but lost Lily]] and Tonks' Patronus turning from a [[WordOfGod jackrabbit]] to a wolf when she fell in love with Lupin). Now let's look at Tina for some signs. Her full name "Propentina" comes from "propentine", meaning "porcupine". This actually also fits Newt's personality, a calm and relatively gentle person who is still prickly and doesn't do well in company. As for how this plays out, Tina spends most of the movie thinking Newt is in love with Leta, who is [[ChildhoodFriendRomance his school friend]], [[RichSuitorPoorSuitor decently wealthy at this point in time]] and British. However, at the climax, Newt must cast his Patronus and instead of an animal that the movie has associated with Leta, Newt casts a gleaming silver porcupine, making Tina realize that she's the girl he wants.
