About this movie

From the imagination of Wizarding World creator J.K. Rowling comes the Fantastic Beasts film series, magical adventures set before the time of Harry Potter. At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Ratings and reviews

Very hard narrative to follow. The only redeeming quality I saw was the CG. At least the 'Fantastic Beasts' were well done, but beyond that I wish I didn't buy it.

So good! Awesome storyline! The twists were great as well! Despite the hate it got, most people said it was bad and "it wasn't their type of movie"(don't judge movies on wether it is your "type" or not) So sad that Depp will not be returning as Grindelwald for the next one, he did a great job and nobody will be able to replace him. Totally recommend!

I love these films. I loved the speed the diff between the UK and American witchin world. I loved the lead characters and the other characters were rich with personality. I don't know why people r saying it was horrible. Just what did they expect? I loved to see a different slant on Rowling's mind. I'd love more of adult stories. We have seen enough children's stories. Stories of diff worlds.Dobies world and friends, the other schools etc.i hope the writer never loses her imagin & enthu bec ofu
