Fantastic Beasts 2 Trailer Reactions: 8 Ups & 3 Downs

7. The Sign Of The Deathly Hallows

Fantastic Beasts The Crimes Of Grindelwald Deathly Hallows
Warner Bros.

With Grindelwald's story coming to the fore, the Fantastic Beasts franchise can now rely on one of the most easily marketable brands in the entire Wizarding World - the Deathly Hallows and though it's simple, the way the trailer uses them is really bloody good.

Not only are the Elder Wand and the Cloak Of Invisibility featured in the new title font (the Resurrection Stone is missing, presumably it's still in the possession of the Gaunt family and hidden), but we get a smokey emblem of the sign of the Hallows at the end of the trailer. And honestly, it's the perfect example of how to use symbols.

If this film doesn't inspire a whole new raft of Hallows tattoos, there's something wrong with the world.
