A new featurette has been released for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first stand alone film in the Harry Potter universe. Here, author J.K. Rowling discusses the story, along with Eddie Redmayne who plays the role of Newt Scamander, a "magizoologist" and author of the titular book used by Harry Potter in Hogwarts.
Taking place in New York in the year 1926, Newt Scamander arrives in the city with his case of magical creatures, which contains various habitats and creatures gathered from around the globe. Scamander then discovers that the wizarding community in the United States is fearful of the No-Maj folk (Muggles) and the consequences of exposure are even more dangerous than in the UK. I don't think a stern talking-to by a professor will suffice in this part of the world. We'll then see what happens when these creatures escape from Scamander's case and roam the streets.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them stars Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything, The Danish Girl), Katherine Waterston (Steve Jobs), Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Dan Fogler (Fanboys, Kung Fu Panda), Colin Farrell (Total Recall, The Lobster), Jenn Murray (Brooklyn), Jon Voight (Heat, Mission: Impossible), Carmen Ejogo (Selma), Gemma Chan (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), and Faith Wood-Blagrove.
Directed by David Yates, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits theaters on November 18, 2016.
