Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald
Movie • 2018 • Adventure
ReportGellert Grindelwald has escaped imprisonment and has begun gathering followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings. The only one capable of putting a stop to him is the wizard he once called his closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore will need to seek help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

There is a complicated storyline about a boy called Credence, who searches for his biological family. Later in the movie there is a scene where several characters talk about their upbringing and their possible relation to Credence. During this scene it is mentioned that a father didn't care about his children and abandoned them shortly after the death of their mother. This is shown in flashbacks.
During the same scene it is shown (through flashbacks) how a young girl exchanged her brother with another baby because he cried so much. She takes the other baby and abandons her brother.

It is not explicit in this movie, but Credence is 100% confirmed abused from the previous movie Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, and that is indeed referenced in this movie. If you're familiar with the previous movie, it's more than just implied abuse.

I'm really not sure if the animal dies. In the beginning there is a little animal named Antonia, she is a Chupacabra and the pet of Grindelwald. While Grindelwald is escaping in a flying carriage Antonia crawls on him and purrs (clearly she loves him). He holds her and says she's too needy and throws her out the window. It was infuriating and ruined the entire movie for me. For a series about the love and care of animals I cannot believe that we started with the brutal and cruel treatment of one. We don't find out what happens to her. We can only hope she lives.

It is mentioned that a character's mother was put under a spell and essentially kidnapped away from her family by a man who desired her; it is mentioned she has a child with him, presumably against her will.

There’s an infant switch when a young Leta takes her crying baby brother out of the room while the person watching them is not looking, and swaps him for a baby that is not crying; it’s said that the crying baby, her actual brother, drowned as a result of this when the boat sank.

In the beginning of the movie there are several scenes in the prison of the American Ministry of Magic. The main villain, Grindelwald, is imprisoned at the end of the first movie, and is supposed to be transported to Europe now. We see Grindelwald in a prison cell and then transported through the prison. His escape kick-starts the movie.

No character in the movie is confirmed to have a mental illness.
However, you could say that Credence, a young man/teenager is mentally ill.
Credence is an obscurial, which means that an obscurus lives inside of him. An obscurus develops when a person suppresses their magical powers for too long instead of learning to control them. This happens often because of trauma related to their magical powers.
An obscurus is a powerful creature and often the obscurial can't control their own powers. During the movie Credence has several „outbursts” where he destroys houses and harms/tries to harm people.

Arguably, one of the characters knows they will die before walking into Grindelwald's spell. It is framed as a heroic sacrifice, but that's still arguably altruistic suicide, particularly with the struggles this character had for the rest of the movie.

The Harry Potter franchise has always been an allegory for intolerance, with the villains believing that pureblood wizards are the top of the foodchain and anyone lesser should be killed or subservient. This is never more apparent than in Crimes of Grindelwald, when Grindelwald directly alludes to a coming WWII. He uses charm and the least hateful speech he can because that's how he wins his followers, but his ideals are still hateful.
There is also heavily implied disgust towards Albus Dumbledore's past romantic feelings towards Grindelwald, even if not outwardly stated.
