Corrected entry: During Newt's confrontation with Grindelwald's followers, his right hand sustains an injury and is dressed with a bandage. Upon Newt and Theseus' arrival at the Hogsmeade pub, it changes to his left hand, then when talking to Dumbledore it's his right again.

1 corrected entry
Directed by: David Yates
Starring: Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne, Mads Mikkelsen, Katherine Waterston, Valerie Pachner
Albus Dumbledore: The world as we know it is coming undone. Things that seem unimaginable today will seem inevitable tomorrow. Should you agree to do what I ask, you'll have to trust me, even when every instinct tells you not to.
Trivia: The studio asked Johnny Depp to resign from his role as Grindewald for this film, owing to allegations of domestic abuse by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Depp later sued Heard for defamation and won the case.
Question: Why didn't Dumbledore apprehend Grindelwald at the end? He saw the blood pact was broken, and he had loads of backup, instead he just walks off and lets him escape.
Answer: Dumbledore, as a Hogwarts professor, did not have any legal authority to apprehend Grindelwald or anyone else. That was up to the magical authorities. Also, this was meant to be a four-part (and possibly five-part) movie series that continued the story leading up to Dumbledore and Grindelwald's final duel. The third movie underperformed financially, so the further sequels were cancelled, leaving the storyline incomplete.
But in the Crimes of Grindelwald, Travers - Head of Magical Law Enforcement for the Ministry personally asks Dumbledore to fight Grindelwald. Then immediately after in the film loads of people attack Grindelwald including Kama who doesn't work for any magical authority?

Correction: Newt's right hand sustains the injury while trying to protect the Qilin in the jungle. When Newt and Theseus are entering Hog's Head Inn, the camera is facing the mirror. Aberforth is wiping the mirror's surface, and we are seeing the reflection, so the image is reversed. Newt's bandaged injured right hand remains consistent. Please rewatch (00:14:50).
