The TSA Is Definitely Not Charmed By Eddie Redmayne’s Fantastic Beasts Briefcase
The character motives aren’t substantially clear while the film plays out like a typical origin story, with a tendency to slow down in bits and picking up in visual bursts as the “Fantastic Beasts” chew the scenery. Sticking with Harry Potter tradition, the five movies within the Fantastic Beasts franchise will employ “and the” to separate the chapters – like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, for example.
Rowling’s 100-page “Fantastic Beasts” reference book, published in 2001, explained why the discovery of magical creatures by non-magical humans poses a threat to the wizarding world.
Writing for the New York Post, Kyle Smith claimed the film is a “gay liberation epic” and might be the “gayest superhero movie since X-Men: First Class”. I Imagine seeing this in the IMAX or/and in 3D could be pretty intense, but not in a good way.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has now officially begun the newest saga in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world, with four films still to go in it. And we’re all hoping that Newt Scamander, Jacob Kowalski, and Porpentina Goldstein can bring their own trio magic as Fantastic Beasts hits theaters this weekend. Will they simply tag a number on the end, like Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them 2? While an Obscurus is not mentioned in either the previous Harry Potter movies or novels, it appears as if Gellert Grindelwald may have a knowledge of them thanks to his history with Albus Dumbledore.
It’s our first look at J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world in the United States. Newt arrived with a suitcase full of magical creatures. The beasts dreamt up by Rowling truly are fantastic and it’s a blast watching Newt and his friends figure out ways to outsmart and capture them.
Tis the season for holiday travel and Eddie Redmayne knows that getting through airport security can require a little magic.
