A theory about the Fantastic Beastsfranchise reveals Jacob Kowalski has a secret, and it could solve a Harry Potter plot hole. Trailers and posters for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore show thatJacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) is getting a wand in the upcoming film. Since Jacob has essentially been a representative for the non-magical audience through two Fantastic Beasts films, the development is surprising. However, it's not unheard of for Muggles to pick up a wand in various Harry Potter lore, though non-magical people couldn't necessarily control their powerful outbursts.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore will look to improve on the franchise's dwindling box office numbers. Though the first movie in the franchise, 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, earned more than $800 million worldwide, the film's follow-up wasn't as successful. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, which hit theaters in 2018, received mixed reviews for an overly complicated plot, and the film ultimately earned around $650 million worldwide. Thus, Crimes of Grindelwald had the lowest box office for any live-action film in the Harry Potter canon.
