J.K. Rowling invites you to explore a new era of the Wizarding World. Explorer and Magizoologist Newt Scamander has just completed a round-the-globe trip in search of the most rare and unusual magical creatures. Arriving in New York, he intends his stay to be just a brief stopover. However, when Newt's case is misplaced and some of his fantastic beasts escape into the city, it spells trouble for everyone ... 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, and is now a major movie starring Academy Award® winner Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander. Set over fifty years before Harry's story begins, and featuring a cast of remarkable characters, this tale of friendship, magic and mayhem is epic, adventure-packed storytelling at its very best.
