“Beasts” a “Fantastic” addition to the Harry Potter universe

It has been five long years since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 came out in theaters. In those long years, Harry Potter fans everywhere have been yearning for the Harry Potter fix they love. Well, all witches and wizards do not need to wait any longer. Grab your Butterbeers and wands because J.K. Rowling has delivered again with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Set in the great New York City before the birth of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts follows a young British wizard by the name of Newt Scamander, who brought only his seemingly harmless suitcase with him to America. On a quest to find a rare magical creature, Newt and his trusty Bowtruckle sidekick find themselves in some trouble with the wizarding community of America because Newt exposed himself to a No-maj (Muggle, or someone without magic), named Jacob Kowalski. Tina Goldstein, the auror who catches Newt, proves to be a stick in the mud of Newt’s plans to recapture his beloved magical creatures that have escaped and continue peacefully with his visit in America. She then gets caught up in the trouble that seems to follow Newt around, while Newt realizes that a dark creature, an Obscurus, is wreaking havoc on the American No-maj and magic community. This creature is powerful, dangerous, and supposed to be extinct. It risks the great secret of the wizarding community by destroying buildings and streets in the city, a secret, that if exposed, may cause a war. Eddie Redmayne, Dan Fogler, and Katherine Waterston star as the main characters of this magical tale. They lead us once again through the magical world and help Harry Potter lovers remember why they fell in love in the first place. This nail biting new film is a must see for anyone who loved Harry Potter.

Full of twists, turns, and of course magic, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them provides Harry Potter lovers everywhere with their magic fix, something they have been waiting for for five years.
