The ‘Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them’ Trailer Has Escaped

fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them-eddie-redmayne

As I’ve said in every article this week, here’s another trailer for a huge blockbuster. This time around we have J.K. Rowlings ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ starring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. The trailer doesn’t really give you much, all we see is 1930’s New York and Redmayne walking around with a suitcase. The most interesting shot of the trailer is that of the MACUSA which is basically the magic council of America which I must admit got me a little giddy. That is one mystery in the Harry Potter universe that I never thought I’d see, and that’s is the Wizarding world in the United States, where’s New York’s Harry Potter, I want to meet that guy. That thought alone has sold me on seeing this movie. If you don’t know the origins of ‘Fantastic Beasts’ here’s a synopsis of the book which the film is based on:

Fantastic Beasts purports to be a reproduction of a textbook owned by Harry Potter and written by magizoologist Newt Scamander, a character in the fictional Harry Potter series. In the series, Magizoology is the study of magical creatures. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them contains the history of Magizoology and describes 85 magical species found around the world. Scamander says that he collected most of the information found in the book through observations made over years of travel and across five continents. He notes that the first edition was commissioned in 1918 by Mr Augustus Worme of Obscurus Books. However, it was not published until 1927. It is now in its 52nd edition. In the Harry Potter universe, the book is a required textbook for first-year Hogwarts students.

The only question that remains is if Rowling puts her heart in this story the way she did with the original Potter. ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ opens in theaters November 18, 2016.
