The latest trailer for "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" had Twitter abuzz after its March 13 release, and received over 3.4 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours. While the trailer has all the familiar faces and magical imagery that "Fantastic Beasts" fans can expect, it's Jude Law as a young Dumbledore who really stands out.

Fans excited for the sequel

The sequel to 2016's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is set to be released on November 16 of this year. A day after its release, the trailer had been retweeted over 85,000 times and was the No.

2 trending video on YouTube. Considering that the film is subtitled "The Crimes of Grindelwald," it's expected that the trailer may feature Johnny Depp as the evil Grindelwald, and, of course, the loveable Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander. Fans also see brief glimpses of familiar favorites Ezra Miller as Credence, Zoe Kravitz as Leta, Katherine Waterston as Tina, and Dan Fogler as Jacob. Yet, the majority of the trailer focuses on Jude Law as a young professor Dumbledore, and there's a good reason.

Jude Law stands out in trailer

With relatively little dialogue, most of the lines in the trailer are spoken by Law as a young professor Albus Dumbledore, before he became headmaster of Hogwarts. Even the magical creatures for which the film is named take a back seat to Law in the sequel's trailer.

Law brings charm and wit aplenty to his depiction of young Dumbledore. One scene shows this Dumbledore being interrogated by the authorities, and the character remains incredibly cool, calm, and collected as he denies being in cohorts with Newt Scamander. Viewers instantly get the sense that Law's Dumbledore is wise beyond his years and unafraid to break a few rules, and he's definitely someone who has a secret or two.

Law's Dumbledore is convincing as he tells Newt that he's "going to have to pick a side."

A fresh take on good vs evil

"The Crimes of Grindelwald" comes from the mind of author J.K.

Rowling, and the familiar Harry Potter theme of good vs. evil is obvious in the trailer. The trailer for the new film opens with a shot of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and familiar images of the beloved magical world abound in other scenes, too. Yet, the trailer suggests the new film will be anything but stale and predictable. Newt will be going to Paris, and while his business there is not clear, one thing is made clear in the trailer: Dumbledore will be instrumental in Newt's fight against Grindelwald. Jude Law is an exciting new addition to the Harry Potter world, as is the depiction of a younger and more vibrant Dumbledore. If the new trailer is any indication, Jude Law as Dumbledore will have fans feeling the magic once again.
