Harry Potter And The Nine Best Movie Trios Of All

Meanwhile, a disgraced magic law enforcement officer Tina (Waterston) finds out that Scamander not only lost some of his magical creatures but had also introduced a “no magic” bystander Kowalski (Fogler) into the world of magic.

Rowling’s new story fleshes out that book, and the endearing, self-proclaimed “magizoologist” who pens it, as Scamander spends his life researching all the Fantastic Beasts he can find. While watching the film, all it did was make me long for the day when I had seen the first “Harry Potter” film for the first time; I wasn’t almost as excited for the dawn of a new franchise as I was back in 2001.

Whatever goes into the last four Fantastic Beasts films, Redmayne said they will be titled with the same “and the” subtitle as the Harry Potter films, in a separate group interview at the Apple Store days earlier.

It doesn’t help that the desperately adorable (at least according to these authors) Eddie Redmayne stars in the film, set in the roaring 20s New York City. As anti-wizard sentiment takes hold, Newt will be joined by Jacob, a witch Porpentina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and her sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) as they hunt through Manhattan for magical beasts and understand the dark force better.

Scamander’s “Fantastic Beasts” encyclopedia of magical creatures was first published in 1927.

After seeing “Fantastic Beasts”, it looks as if Obscurials will be front and center in the five-film franchise.

Upon Newt’s arrival, carrying a fabulous briefcase full of fantastic beasts, we learn that the wizarding world is under threat from a renegade wizard named Grindelwald and others who frown upon magic. Set in 1926, it centers on Newt Scamander, a “magizoologist” who arrives in NY with a case full of unusual creatures that quickly escape. Take away the relationship to the Harry Potter franchise and I’m afraid Fantastic Beasts would be fighting an uphill battle.

“Fantastic Beasts” is based on the 2001 novel by J.K. Rowling, this is her first screenplay based on her own material and everything seems to be in good hands with Potter director, David Yates.
