Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore returns to familiar territory in a new clip.

Set to finally bow on big screens next month following a lengthy delay, this sequel to 2018's The Crimes of Grindelwald finds Jude Law's Albus Dumbledore entrusting Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander to push back on Gellert Grindelwald's (Mads Mikkelsen this time around) movements to seize control of the wizarding world.

Preparing for the war to come, Newt and his pals gather inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Room of the Requirement in this new sneak peek clip, which you can see above.

Harry Potter fans will of course remember this location from across the iconic movie franchise, with the room only appearing when a person was in great need of it – like when Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) needed a place to train Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

In the clip, the iconic sound of John Williams' score is heard as Newt and his crew stroll through the room's heavy wooden doors just as they'd finished materialising.

The Secrets of Dumbledore will see celebrated Danish actor Mikkelsen take over the role of Grindelwald, and he has previously spoken of why he accepted the role of the dark wizard.

Addressing Johnny Depp's departure, he said: "I don't know what happened [in his private life], and I don't know if it was fair, him losing the job, but I just knew that the show was going on, and I would've loved to have talked to him about it if I had the chance, but I just don't know him in that sense.

"But they called me and they were obviously in a hurry, and I loved the script and so said yes. And I know it was controversial for many people, but that's just the way it plays out once in a while."

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore opens in cinemas on April 8.
