Much to our envy, Harry Potter creator J.K Rowling has confirmed she has seen a private screening of Warner Bros Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Confirming the news via Twitter, the author seemed inevitably excited, but still managed to uphold the highest levels of secrecy for the upcoming magical adventure – “You know what rounds off a great day? A private screening of #FantasticBeasts”.
Set in 1926, seventy years before Harry’s story begins, the movie follows protagonist Newt (Eddie Redmayne) throughout his adventures in New York City, where he’s aspiring to study the abundance of magical creatures within the wizarding world. His research is eventually published into a book, which becomes a renowned piece at Hogwarts. However, expect Newt to face some problems along the way, particularly ones involving a muggle named Jacob…
Alongside Redmayne, the film will also star Katherine Waterston (Tina Goldstein), Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein), Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski) and Samantha Morton (Mary Lou). Return to the wizarding world on 18 November and watch the latest trailer below; where you can also see Rowling’s tweet.
