‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’
The sequel to J. K. Rowling’s saga set in the magical world of Harry Potter, “The Crimes of Grindelwald” follows the hero of the first “Fantastic Beasts” to fight Lord Voldemort’s evil predecessor in Paris of the 1920s, some 60 years before the original franchise. Newt Scamander, a magizoologist, gets help from his magical creatures and wizarding friends, including a younger Albus Dumbledore. Written by Rowling and directed by franchise veteran David Yates, the blockbuster has both an intricately woven story and dramatically driven visuals. Some magic ensues.

‘Gareth Jones. Diary’
Kyiv’s Lavra Gallery will open an exhibition to mark the Memorial Day of Holodomor Victims. The exhibition is dedicated to outstanding British journalist Gareth Jones, who was the first one to publicize Holodomor, a famine and an act of genocide established by Soviet authorities in Ukraine and Russia’s southern region of Kuban in 1932-1933, which killed at least 3.9 million people. “Gareth Jones. Diary” features quotes from the journalist’s diary and installations, which reflect on them. The organizers say that the visitors will have an opportunity to find out about the trips Jones took to Ukraine, in what conditions he did his investigations and how he was opposed.
“Gareth Jones. Diary.” Lavra Gallery (9 Lavrska St.) Nov. 20 – Dec. 10. Mon-Fri. 12-6 p.m. Free
