Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The year is 1926 in the city of New York...

A time and place where the actions of a handful of people.. and creatures... will determine the fate of the many. Magizoologist Newt Scamander, newly arrived in town, intends his stay to be just a brief stopover.

However, when Newt's magical case is misplaced and some of his fantastic beasts escape into the city, it spells trouble for everyone...

Inspired by the original Hogwarts textbook by Newt

Scamander, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, author of the beloved and internationally bestselling Harry Potter books. Fans of J.K. Rowling's brilliant imagination will recognize her humorous turn of phrase on every page, her incredible vision of a magical universe, and her deep sympathy and understanding for people of all kinds (whether they carry wands or not).

This is epic, adventure-packed storytelling at its very best, and it will take your breath away.
