Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a 2016 fantasy film, written by J.K. Rowling and directed by David Yates. The movie is a spin-off of the Harry Potter films that have already been released. Just like Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts is based on a book by J.K. Rowling with the same title. The film stars Eddie Redmayne, who previously played the role of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, along with Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol and others.
The movie begins with a newspaper headline reporting the threat of Grindelwald’s dark magic on Europe. A ship arrives in New York City, and a man named Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne) is seen holding a suitcase. He has just arrived in the city, where an exciting adventure awaits. In the city, chaos ensues as houses crumble and streets are torn apart by a mysterious force.
Scamander finds himself in front of a bank, where he meets Kowalski (played by Dan Fogler), who is carrying the same suitcase as him. Soon, Scamander’s pet escapes, and in the attempt to retrieve it, he bumps into Kowalski. A coin slips out of Scamander’s pocket, causing even more chaos.
Meanwhile, a woman named Tina Goldstein (played by Katherine Waterston), who is keeping tabs on Scamander, contacts him and brings him to the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) building. There, Scamander’s suitcase, which is now in Kowalski’s possession, causes trouble. The contents of the suitcase turn out to be a collection of magical creatures. Chaos erupts in the streets of the city, as the creatures escape from the suitcase and wreak havoc.
To make matters worse, Scamander and his companions are arrested in connection with a murder, and the three are held responsible for the attack that destroyed much of the city. The group must now clear their names and find a way to stop the real culprit before it is too late.
Throughout the movie, the characters encounter various magical creatures, including an Obscurus, a parasitic creature that lives inside children whose magical abilities were suppressed. Scamander and Kowalski must catch several of these creatures and return them to the suitcase before they cause any more destruction. They are aided by Tina, Queenie and a host of other characters.
The movie ends with the group coming together to defeat the true enemy and prevent further destruction in the city. It’s a journey full of adventure, humor, and magic that is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
