Taking place 70 years before the events of HARRY POTTER, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM will chronicle some of the life and times of Newt Scamander – A magizoologist who comes to New York with a briefcase full of wondrous creatures. I think it's a given that these creatures will be on the loose at some point, but series creator J.K. Rowling talks about the characters of her story in this latest featurette!
There's a lot to explore in the wizarding world of Harry Potter and admittedly, I'm not sure how well this will do without the pull of a known hero or villain. With that said, I'm hoping the movie turns out well, if only so we could see more spin-offs that explore the many interesting facets that make up the wizarding world. Who knows? Perhaps a movie or two chronicling Harry Potter's adult life may even come into play eventually…
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM will open in theaters on November 18, 2016.
