Harry Potter fans will surely love’Fantastic beasts and where to find them’ where we rediscover the fantasy world of magic and witchcraft. This time the story moves out of Hogwarts and shifts to America but thanks to J.K.Rowling’s deft screenplay, the movie keeps you intrigued till the end.
Fantastic beasts is a prequel of Harry Potter and is set in 1920s. The film is full of charm, thrill, magic and endearing magical creatures. Newt Scamander, the author of Hogwarts textbook’Fantastic beasts & where to find them’ arrives in America with a suitcase full of magical creatures where he accidentally runs into a no-maj(American word for muggles). Some magical creatures are let loose whom Newt must save. The film doesn’t play on nostalgia card and brilliantly stands on its own. Rowling has created a brilliant story and characters which come alive on screen. Watching the fantastic imaginary creatures and animals is a treat in itself.
My verdict: Don’t miss it!
