Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (5 out of 5)

It’s been five years since audiences bid adieu to Harry Potter and friends in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and little has happened to dampen the love for the wizarding world author J.K. Rowling created.

The Harry Potter series, which so far is comprised of eight films, has brought in more than $7.7 billion worldwide, according to comScore.

Though these are big numbers, they don’t come close to what the “Harry Potter” movies made.

The Sweden lift-off was worth $446K from 300 screens.

So we know Grindelwald is going to be a major baddie for this new film series and there was a rumour he might even have a brief role in the first film.

Newt Scamander (Redmayne) is a magizoologist in 1926 NY who’s desperately searching for a number of outlandish creatures that have mysteriously gotten loose from his briefcase. It follows Redmayne’s Newt Scamander as he tries to retrieve magical creatures that have escaped from his valise and are running wild through 1926 New York City.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a cute, whimsical title, but it’s also kind of an unwieldy one. He’s accompanied by a “No-Maj” (no magic – this film’s version of a Muggle) named Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) and Tina (Katherine Waterston), low-tier agent in the Magical Congress for the United States of America (MACUSA). Overall, critics seem to agree the film is definitely worth seeing, but also has some growing pains launching a new franchise. He declares war on the fugitives in a city where dark forces are gathering. Cases from the Wizarding World is free to download on both mobile platforms, but for advanced fact-finding and investigation, users would have to upgrade their character using in-game purchases. Its more preview-y I think than people realise, she said. Though there were references to some characters from the original Harry Potter movies, this is a bit confusing as to how it fully connects. And for those reading this and haven’t seen the movie… what are you doing here?

As revealed in the movie, an Obscurus is a magical parasite that develops over time after a wizard or witch suppresses their magical powers.
