Broom sticks, butterbeer, wands, and spells; some of the things from the magical world that people across the country have missed since the last Harry Potter movie was released. However, there is now another way audiences can get immersed into this entertaining world.  The extension of the magical wizarding world in the new movie, Fantastic Beast; and Where to Find Them captured the delight of both Harry Potter fanatics and moviegoers new to witches and wizards. Taking place in 1926 in the United States the movie provided the perfect mix of knowledge already known from the Harry Potter franchise and new interesting information about this hidden world of wizards. The film caught the interest of all different types of audiences with the introduction of various creatures that didn’t fail to amaze with intriguing names and appearances. The protagonist, Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne gave a memorable performance as the british wizard who brings a case filled of magical creatures to New York City. The plot delivers plenty of twist and turns that keeps the movie engaging and develops the characters in a way that gets the audience to connect with them. J.K Rowling did a great job with the screen write, and continuing her legacy as the creator of witches and wizards. Fantastic Beasts; and Where to Find Them is definitely an end of the year must see film, that lived up to the expectations of another magical movie.
