2. The Emotional Heft

While it would be a shock for any of the main characters to die in this movie (they might not be safe forever given Rowlings' penchant for killing off characters), it definitely looks like death could be a presence here.

There's definitely an ominous feel - particularly around Queenie and Jacob (who fits as a target since he's a Muggle and everything Grindelwald hates) - and you shouldn't get too close to some of the characters. At this stage, those two, some of Grindelwald's followers, Credence and Theseus Scamander are probably at the top of the list for possible deaths.

Whoever it ends up being, it seems inevitable that the Grim Reaper will have work to do, because Grindelwald needs some Crimes to commit and we need his mythology to be built upon before the next movies.
