Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (23 page)

SCENE 120

INT. NURMENGARD CASTLE—DAWN

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.

CREDENCE inhales sharply. His chick steps gingerly onto GRINDELWALD’S palm. GRINDELWALD throws it in the air, where it catches alight.

GRINDELWALD

There is a legend in your family that a phoenix will come to any member who is in dire need.

Given room at last, the bird stretches its wings and becomes full size. The bird is aflame, a phoenix reborn.

GRINDELWALD

It is your birthright, my boy. As is the name I now restore to you.

(whispers)

Aurelius. Aurelius Dumbledore.

CREDENCE turns. The power of his Obscurus can at last be channeled. He points the wand at the window and a spell of immense power shatters the glass and breaks apart the
mountain opposite.

CREDENCE stands staring through the shattered glass at his handiwork. He is extraordinary, and this is just his beginning.

J.K. Rowling is the author of the much-loved series of seven Harry Potter novels, originally published between 1997 and 2007. Along with the three companion books written for
charity, the series has sold over 500 million copies, been translated into over 80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films.

Originally written by J.K. Rowling in aid of Comic Relief as a Hogwarts textbook,
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
became the inspiration behind a new and
original five-film series for Warner Bros., the first of which was released in 2016. The second film in the series,
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,
was released in November
2018.

J.K. Rowling has collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany on a stage play,
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
, which opened on London’s
West End in 2016, on Broadway in 2018, and will have further worldwide openings in 2019.

J.K. Rowling also writes the Cormoran Strike crime novels, under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The fourth in this series was published in fall 2018. The Strike books have
been adapted for television for BBC and HBO television by Bronte Film & Television. J.K. Rowling is also the author of
The Casual Vacancy
, a stand-alone novel for adults, published in
2012.

This book was designed and illustrated by London-based design studio MinaLima. Its founders, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, were the graphic designers on both
Fantastic
Beasts
films and all eight films in the Harry Potter series. Their work has been influential in shaping the visual style of the Wizarding World: from film production to theme park graphics,
and bestselling published works.

The cover and illustrations in this book were based on elements and creatures in the story. Its 1920s Art Nouveau rendering echoes the aesthetic of the film and retains an
ongoing theme from J.K. Rowling’s screenplay
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
, also designed by MinaLima.

The illustrations were drawn by hand and finished in Adobe Photoshop.
