“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” takes us to a new era
of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, decades before Harry Potter
and half a world away. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (“The
Theory of Everything,” “The Danish Girl”) stars in the central
role of Magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of
David Yates, who helmed the last four “Harry Potter”
blockbusters.There are growing dangers in the wizarding world of
1926 New York. Something mysterious is leaving a path of
destruction in the streets, threatening to expose the wizarding
community to the No-Majs (American for Muggles), including the
Second Salemers, a fanatical faction bent on eradicating them and
the powerful, dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, after wreaking
havoc in Europe, has slipped away…and is now nowhere to be found.
Unaware of the rising tensions, Newt Scamander arrives in the
city nearing the end of a global excursion to research and rescue
magical creatures, some of which are safeguarded in the magical
hidden dimensions of his deceptively nondescript leather case.
But potential disaster strikes when unsuspecting No-Maj Jacob
Kowalski inadvertently lets some of Newt’s beasts loose in a city
already on edge—a serious breach of the Statute of Secrecy that
former Auror Tina Goldstein jumps on, seeing her chance to regain
her post as an investigator. However, things take an ominous turn
when Percival Graves, the enigmatic Director of Magical Security
at MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America),
casts his suspicions on both Newt…and Tina.Now allied, Newt and
Tina, together with Tina’s sister, Queenie, and their new No-Maj
friend, Jacob, form a band of unlikely heroes, who must recover
Newt’s missing beasts before they come to harm. But the stakes
are higher than these four outsiders—now branded fugitives—ever
imagined, as their mission puts them on a collision course with
dark forces that could push the wizarding and No-Maj worlds to
the brink of war.Special Features:Before Harry Potter: A New Era
