ts been 2 years since JK Rowling revealed that the text book Fantastic Beasts and where to find them will be converted into a film trilogy and just yesterday we got a glimpse of Newt Scamander and few behind the scenes glimpses on set.
Eccentric magizoologist Newt Scamander (Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne) comes to New York (for a reason we won’t disclose) with his trusty weathered case. This case is one of those way-way-way-bigger-on-the-inside magical devices, and within are expansive habitats for a collection of rare and endangered magical creatures from Newt’s travels around globe. He discovers the American wizarding community is fearfully hiding from Muggles (who are called “No-Maj” in the States, more on that), and the threat of public exposure is an even graver concern than in the UK (remember the Salem witch trials?). Fantastic Beasts is the story of what happens when this uniquely skilled English wizard travels to wiz-phobic America, and a variety of his creatures, some quite dangerous … get out of their case.
