Before Fantastic Beasts hit cinemas last week, author JK Rowling teased how the story of Dumbledore and Grindelwald would be told over five films.
Meanwhile, a deleted scene from Fantastic Beasts – revealed by the film’s producer – may hold the key to what the next film in the series will focus on.
Fans are assuming the fateful battle between the pair will therefore not take place until the fifth film.
As mentioned in the Harry Potter films, a famous three-hour duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald – from which the Hogwarts headsets won the Elder Wand – took place in 1945, which is 19 years after the events of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
