J K Rowling back with fantastic tales and here’s where you can find them

What is the film all about? 

 Set in 1926 in New York, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes us to a new era of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world, decades before Harry Potter landed. A mysterious something has destroyed parts of the city that leads to a lot of tension between wizards and No-Majs (American for Muggles). For those who have been familiar with the books of JK Rowling must be aware that the wizarding community is very secretive about their existence. Students are expelled from Hogwarts if they use magic outside school. Amidst this, a dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, after wreaking havoc in Europe, has slipped away and is now nowhere to be found.  

Incognisant of strained moments in the city, 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.

Who’s behind the making of the film? 

JK Rowling has made her debut screenplay in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It will be based on the same book she wrote in 2001. Back then, the popularity of Potter was more than its counterparts. The film will be directed by David Yates, who previously directed, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II, Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince.

 Will Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley be there? 

Although the screenplay and the book has been written by JK Rowling, there has been no hint about the existence of these famous friends. The film will focus more on the magical world she created. In her previous seven books and the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Rowling has been mainly concentrated about the life of one particular wizard. It seems Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them will tell a detailed story about the magical world.
