Cheer up
Harry Potter fans! Harry may be gone
but Warner Bros. and Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowlings are far from finished with
the wizardly world of Harry Potter and his friends and foes.
Taking
place several decades before the escapades of Harry and his friends, ‘Fantastic
Beasts And Where To Find Them’ takes place in the United States, specifically
New York City in the 1920s.Something is rampaging through the streets of New York causing destruction and threatening the existence of the non-magical community (No-Majs).
Whatever is causing the destruction must be stopped and the fanatical Second Salemers are hell-bent on stopping it at all costs.
To make matters worse a powerful dark wizard has disappeared in Europe at just about the same time the mysterious devastation takes place.
Unbeknownst to Newt Scamander of the current dire circumstance, Newt arrives in the United States to corral and rescue some magical creatures that have escaped from their alternate dimension, some through his nondescript suitcase.
But, when some of Newt’s creatures are accidentally(?) let loose its up to Newt and his newfound allies to gather them all up before they come to harm. Simple, right? Not so fast!
There are dark forces at work that threaten to upend the wizard/magic world and community resulting in war. Will the unlikely band of heroes save the day?
Included in the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD Combo Pack from Warner Bros. are several featurettes about the making of the film, deleted scenes and more.
For a ‘magical’ tour of the pre-Harry Potter world of wizard and magic be sure to check out this visually stunning, engrossing and thrill-a-minute and imaginative film.
