​    Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them by J.K Rowling  is a story set in the wizarding world, give or take 80 years before Harry Potter. The movie follows Rowling’s character, Newt Scamander, who is what you’d consider a misfit. After being expelled from Hogwarts, for reasons unknown, and traveling the world extensively to collect his case of magical beasts, Newt finds himself in New York. You see, Newt is in a rush to get where he is going, but the beasts in his case have other ideas. Constantly escaping and causing quite a ruckus, they catch the attention of some very unhappy wizarding ministers. Captivating in endless drama and mystery as his story unfolds, Newt is an enthusiastic wizard who never gives up, no matter what trouble he faces. The movie has been received very positively by its viewers and Rowling has even come out saying that there are to be five more movies. The new series is an invigorating return and step forward to magic, while also being a step back in time.
    Harry Potter is the amazing creation, after Newt, in the magic world that intermixes with the human world, or as they say, Muggle world. And though Harry Potter hasn’t been born in the timeline of this movie, which takes place in the 1920s, it’s not without a memorable and relatable protagonist. Not to mention how different everything we already know about the wizarding world will be, exclusively because the movie takes place in America. We get a hint at familiarity, but not only are the laws different, but the people themselves. We get to learn new slang used by the American wizards, hopefully leading into more backstory so we can understand more about the wizarding world itself. It’ll be interesting to see how Rowling continues Newt’s story in the future. This movie was outstanding and, by the end, you’re either blown away, satisfied, or waiting twenty minutes after the movie ends, hoping for a clip after the credits. Anyone can enjoy this movie, whether they love Harry Potter or not. It’s sure to be a family favorite in many households, and wizards across America and beyond. It’s an adventure you’ll never forget.
