'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' ending left us gaping, but here is everything we learned from it

Turns out Ezra Miller's Credence is not who we he is. Here are some explanations, based on theories by tallying facts, fan theories, and timelines of the 'Harry Potter' franchise
PUBLISHED NOV 19, 2018

'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' was scattered and riddled with loose ends. From confusing plots to mind-boggling subplots, a lot of things were left unexplained — the number of which has exceeded the list of questions the first film in the franchise, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', had left viewers with. But also, in a matter of compensation, the second installment managed to both divulge and leave fans puzzled with the revelation of Credence Barebone's true identity. Spoiler alert! But Ezra Miller's character is actually, NOT a Lestrange, as most fans were led to believe in the time heading to the second part. Turns out, he is, in fact, a Dumbledore!

That's right; Credence is actually Aurelius Dumbledore — as revealed by the titular Grindelwald (played by Johnny Depp) right at the end of the movie.
