Dog-Friendly Cinema Picturehouse East Dulwich | Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald. There are also dog-friendly cinema screenings of Isle of Dogs showing at other Picturehouse Cinemas across London for this film on 25th November and 2nd November.

The Film

The second chapter of the Fantastic Beasts franchise delves back into J. K. Rowling’s enchanting Wizarding World, swapping the hustle and bustle of 1920s New York for the moody streets of Paris a year on, where a slew of new characters and wonderful beasts await discovery.

The powerful dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (a wildly white-haired Depp duded up in heinous style) has slipped the bars of custody and is out to purge the world of all non-magical beings. In a desperate bid to restore harmony, a young Albus Dumbledore (Law) calls upon the help of former Hogwarts student Newt Scamander (Redmayne) to stop Grindelwald and his growing army of pure-blood wizards in their tracks. But this only marks the start of a perilous quest into a world of dark magic.

Dog-Friendly Cinema Picturehouse East Dulwich | Fantastic Beasts Tickets are £14.10 (Adults) and dogs go free!
