One of the fun parts about setting the Harry Potter spinoff series Fantastic Beastsin the past is erotice for coiuplesthat fans get to see what the Wizarding World was like before Harry's generation. In a new, EW-exclusive image from Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald, it looks like at least some scenes will be ever farther in flashback, as they show a young Professor Dumbledore (played by Jude Law) teaching an even younger Newt Scamander (played by relative unknown Joshua Shea).

First, according to Pottermore, Albus Dumbledore was the Transfiguration professor before he became Headmaster at Hogwarts. But the classroom he's standing in looks to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts room — peep the dragon skeleton feet just over Dumbledore and Newt's heads.
That's likely the same skeleton seen years later when Quirinus Quirrell, Gilderoy Lockhart and Remus Lupin were the DADA teachers (the fake Mad-Eye Moody did not have the skeleton there, and neither did Dolores Umbridge).
Second, the positioning of the students and the look of terror on young Newt's face suggests that they're lining up one by one to take on something scary with Professor Dumbledore at their side. It's a very similar setup to another important Hogwarts class from the third Harry Potterfilm, where Professor Lupin teaches Harry and his friends to take on Boggarts.
Boggarts are a third-year class in Harry's time, so it's possible that this shows Newt as a 13-year-old. But the age of actor Joshua Shea (he's 15) might mean that this is meant to be a 15 or 16 year old Newt, and information from Fantastic Beasts tie-in material alludes to him being expelled in either his fifth or sixth year.
Then again, it's possible Remus Lupin taught Boggarts early because he trusted his class, or the curriculum of Hogwarts changed over the course of the 20th century.
Honestly all of this is wild speculation, but perhaps Dumbledore, as the Transfiguration professor, is asked to step in and teach Boggarts to a Defense Against the Dark arts class because of his personal expertise with the current state of Dark Arts in the Wizarding World at the time of the movie — Grindlewald was on the rise before Newt went to Hogwarts and continued to grow in power through his school years and beyond, so maybe the threat of a dark wizard on the rise made Hogwarts double down on training their students in the Defensive arts.
Either way, if it is a Boggart class, then the audience might be able to see that form Newt's Boggart will take. What is Newt Scamander's greatest fear? Since J.K. Rowling said that revealing his Patronus would be a "huge spoiler," maybe his Boggart is similarly significant. Or not!
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewaldcomes out on November 19th.
