10 Major Predictions For The Fantastic Beasts Sequels
6. Newt Is Going To Give Fawkes To Dumbledore
At this point it's basically been confirmed that we'll be seeing a young version of Albus Dumbledore. He's been mentioned in the movie, and with Grindelwald becoming a larger presence in subsequent films, we'll likely be seeing his relationship with Dumbledore.
But the interaction between Newt and Dumbledore will also be interesting. How will Newt's relationship with his beasts relate? With Dumbledore being the only person to defend Newt following his expulsion from Hogwarts, it's likely the two will form a close friendship.
What would make a really nice touch would be if Fawkes - the phoenix owned by Dumbledore in the future - is actually a gift from Newt, or if Newt introduces Dumbledore to the creature. It would be a nice way to connect Beasts to the Potter time period through a poignant gesture, and it'd make sense, too.
After all, where would Dumbledore have randomly come across a phoenix?
