Credence, or rather Aurelius, also aligns with Grindelwald at the end of the second film, joining him after the rally at Lestrange’s mausoleum.
Grindelwald then tells Credence something crucial about his parentage, namely that he is a Dumbledore and that his brother – presumably Albus – tried to destroy him. This revelation caused quite a bit of confusion at the time: Credence was too young to have been born to Albus, Desiderius, and Ariana’s parents, Percival and Kendra, but Grindelwald tells Credence that Albus is his brother.

At the end of “The Crimes of Grindelwald”, Grindelwald has taken up residence in the castle of Nurmengard with Credence in tow.

After Grindelwald’s rally ends in chaos in “The Crimes of Grindelwald,” Grindelwald tries to get Lestrange’s Leta to his side. She refuses, casting several spells at him and destroying his skull water pipe, before finally being consumed by the flames as well.
Before dying, she turns to the Scamander brothers and says, “I love you.”

Yusuf Kama, who was introduced in “The Crimes of Grindelwald,” explains to Credence that Detta’s Corvus used the Imperius Curse to seduce his mother Laurena away from his father, Mustafa Kama. Laurena eventually died giving birth to Leta Lestrange.
Yusuf was given a mission before his father’s death – to kill the person Corvus Lestrange loved most in the world, in revenge for Laurena’s death. While Yusuf initially thought this was Leta, he found that Corvus didn’t care about his daughter, nor about his next wife. Instead, Corvus only took care of his son, also known as Corvus.
When Corvus learned of Yusuf’s task, he sent the child and Leta along with Irma Dugard to travel to America. During the journey, as Leta reveals at the Lestrange family mausoleum in “The Crimes of Grindelwald,” she exchanged Corvus for another child, which ultimately resulted in him drowning when the ship sank.
At the end of “The Crimes of Grindelwald,” Kama escapes the Grindelwald gathering alive and travels with Newt, Tina, and his party to Hogwarts.

Teddy, Newt’s niffler, manages to steal the vial of blood covenants from Grindelwald at the end of the second film. The vial, in an amulet on a chain cord, is the physical manifestation of the blood pact the two had entered into to prevent them from harming each other.
Now that Dumbledore is in possession of the vial, which contains droplets of him and Grindelwald’s blood, it’s obvious he could figure out a way to break it and raise his wand against Grindelwald.

In “The Crimes of Grindelwald” Voldemort’s snake Nagini appears. However, it wasn’t like a snake – rather, it was like a human female.
In the film, it is revealed that she is a Maledictus, a person with a blood curse that would eventually turn her into a creature permanently – in her case, a snake. Nagini escapes the Grindelwald rally at the end of the film and ends up at Hogwarts with Newt, Tina and his company. It is unclear what will become of her at the end of the film.

In “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” Aberforth Dumbledore tells Harry, Ron, and Hermione that Ariana, his and Albus’ sister—whose magic “turned inside” after being attacked by muggles as a child and refusing to use it— died in a conflict between the brothers and Grindelwald.
Aberforth tells the trio that Albus became his sister’s caretaker after one of her magical outbursts killed their mother. However, his ties to Gellert Grindelwald and their plans to expose magical society for the “greater good” distracted him from Ariana.
When Aberforth confronted Grindelwald and Albus, Grindelwald used the Cruciatus Curse on Aberforth, leading to Albus defending him. The three ended up in a duel and in the crossfire Ariana died.

In “The Crimes of Grindelwald,” Dumbledore sees Grindelwald in the Mirror of Erised, which reflects a person’s deepest desires, but their romantic history is otherwise not explicitly depicted in any of the franchise’s movies or books.
