Gellert Grindelwald is the first “He Who Must Not Be Named” of the wizarding world. The latest TV spot released Saturday for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, J.K. Rowling’s cinematic Harry Potter prequel, warns of the dark wizard without saying his name.

“Before Voldemort, there was another threat to the wizarding world,” the caption on Facebook reads. In the footage itself, Colin Farrell’s character, the Auror Percival Graves, warns, “Time is running out. The man I warned you about is getting closer. We’ve lived in the shadows for too long. I refuse to bow down any longer.”

Rowling also teased the character’s involvement in a featurette, saying, “They’re talking about the first time a wizard rose and threatened the world order.”
