Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

*Raph's Girl* · 03-29-2014, 11:15 PM

JK Rowling's book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find them is being turned into a movie TRILLOGY. It's set some 70 years before Harry Potter and is about magiczooologist Newt Scamander.

OMFG! I hope it's gonna be good. Trilogy worth of material in that tiny book, eh....

*BubblyShell22* · 03-30-2014, 08:00 AM

Yep, I heard about this, too. Sounds like it might be interesting. I'd love to check it out and see what transpires.

Hobbit syndrome.

It's NOT EVEN Hobbit syndrome. The Hobbit has tons of stuff implied that you can flesh out. This book is almost non-existent!

Glad we're going to be treated to more of the HP universe. I feel Harry's story has been told, but will gladly step back into Rowling's wizarding world to be entertained by other characters and situations. Looking forward to this trilogy.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-01-2015, 07:12 PM

And we have a Newt Scamander! Eddie Redmayne has been cast in the role!

Awesome. Sure, the book is tiny, but I heard Rowling herself is writing the script, so it should be really good as there's much you can do to expand the world and the book itself.

This is a great thing, BUT... is it in the same canon as the books OR the movies? Can't be both.

Spoiler:

It's based on a book Hermione read. The physical book WAS released in book stores a couple years back. So it's based on a book that was featured in a book....

It has just been confirmed that Eddie Redmayne will be showing some new footage at the MTV Movie Awards.

Finally a real trailer.

*ranger_scout* · 11-24-2016, 11:44 AM

I saw this on Saturday with two friends. It made me happy to see some classic spells being used by new characters. Plus, it was was nice to see what the Wizarding World in America is like on the big screen. Rowling also provided plenty of twists in this film like she usually does in her books.

*Utrommaniac* · 11-24-2016, 11:37 PM

Well, I enjoyed it quite a lot, and I'm looking forward to Dumbledore in the next installment.

Cool! Wouldn't have been my preference, but I like Law.

That's cool. Hopefully he'll have a longish beard, too.

*Shark_Blade* · 04-13-2017, 05:23 AM

Imagine Jude Law making out with Johnny Depp!

*NinjaPug* · 11-16-2017, 08:32 AM

The sequel has a title - Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Spoiler: Grindewald pretending to be another wizard was exactly what Barty Crouch Jr. did in 'Goblet of Fire'. Now I see what they meant by recreating what was done in that film. The entire time I was expecting that little girl to be a villain. I thought it was going to be exactly what ABC did with Cruella de Vil on 'Once Upon a Time'. Boy was I wrong about that.

Spoiler: Poor, poor Credence . I swear, Newt has some kind of wizard Aspergers. I could smell it on him through the screen. And I adored Jacob. He took everything so well and was so sweet. __________________ DeviantART
