Yeah this movie is upon the famous novel by J K Rolling and is successfully interpreted.
This movie itself gives a hint that it’s like a Harry Potter series by its color tints, environment and that magical world. But yeah , it got no connection with Harry Potter and is a completely brand new series.
The 3D of this movie is just awesome you’ll actually feel that you are watching a 3D movie and at times taken a back too.
So I’ll say it’s a must watch, no story detailed will be revealed much as I want you to go and watch and will love it.
