He encounters Mary Lou Barebone, a non-magical woman ( `` No - Maj '' or `` Muggle '' ) who heads the New Salem Philanthropic Society. While Newt listens to her speech about how witches and wizards are real and dangerous, a small platypus - like `` Niffler '' which hoards shiny objects escapes from his magically expanded suitcase and slips into a nearby bank. As Newt attempts to capture the Niffler, he meets No - Maj cannery worker and aspiring baker Jacob Kowalski, and they unwittingly swap suitcases. Demoted Auror ( hunter of dark wizards ) Tina Goldstein arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard and takes him to the Magical Congress of the United States of America ( MACUSA ) headquarters. However, as Jacob 's suitcase contains only baked goods, Newt is released. At Jacob 's tenement apartment, several creatures escape from Newt 's suitcase, one of them biting Jacob on the neck. After Tina and Newt find Jacob and the suitcase, Tina takes them to her apartment and introduces them to her Legilimens sister Queenie. Jacob and Queenie are mutually attracted, though American wizards are forbidden to marry or even meet No - Majs. Newt takes Jacob inside his magically expanded suitcase, where Jacob encounters a contained Obscurus, a dark, destructive parasite that develops inside magically gifted children if they suppress their magical abilities. Newt extracted it from a young girl who died, those afflicted rarely living past the age of ten. Newt persuades Jacob to help search for the missing creatures. After re-capturing two of the three escaped beasts, they re-enter the suitcase, which Tina captures and returns to MACUSA. Officials arrest them, believing one of Newt 's beasts to be responsible for killing Senator Henry Shaw Jr. They decide to destroy Newt 's suitcase and `` obliviate '' ( remove ) Jacob 's memories of magic. Director of Magical Security Percival Graves accuses Newt of conspiring with the infamous dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Newt and Tina are sentenced to immediate death but Queenie and Jacob rescue them and they escape. Thanks to the help of Goblin gangster Gnarlack, Tina 's old informant, the foursome then find and re-capture the last of the creatures. Meanwhile, Percival Graves approaches Mary Lou Barebone 's adopted son Credence and offers to free him from his abusive mother. In exchange, Graves wants Credence to find an Obscurus, which he believes has caused the mysterious destructive incidents around the city. Credence finds a wand under his adopted sister Modesty 's bed. Mary Lou assumes it is Credence 's wand, but Modesty says it is hers. When she is about to be punished, the Obscurus attacks and kills Mary Lou and her eldest daughter Chastity. Graves arrives and after Credence leads him to the location of Modesty, dismisses him as being a Squib and refuses to teach him magic. Credence reveals he is the Obscurus 's host, having lived longer than any other host due to the intensity of his magic. In a fit of rage, Credence transforms into an Obscurus and attacks the city. Newt finds Credence hiding in a subway tunnel, but he is attacked by Graves. Tina, who knows Credence, arrives and attempts to calm him, while Graves tries to convince Credence to listen to him. As Credence begins to settle into human form Aurors arrive. They apparently disintegrate him to protect the magical society, but a tiny Obscurus fragment escapes. Graves admits to unleashing the Obscurus to expose the magical community to the No - Majs, and angrily claims that MACUSA protects the No - Majs more than themselves. After being subdued by one of Newt 's beasts, he is revealed as Grindelwald in disguise and is taken into custody. MACUSA fears their secret world has been exposed, but Newt releases his Thunderbird to disperse a poultice as rainfall over the city that erases all New Yorkers ' recent memories as MACUSA wizards repair the destruction. Queenie kisses Jacob goodbye as the rain erases his memories. Newt departs for Europe, but promises to return and visit Tina when his book is finished ; he also anonymously leaves Jacob a case of silver Occamy eggshells to fund his bakery. His breads and pastries are unconsciously inspired by Newt 's creatures and Queenie visits him in his shop.

'' Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating to reviews, gives the film a score 66 out of 100, based on 50 critics, indicating mostly favourable reviews. Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film five out of five stars, hailing it as `` a rich, baroque, intricately detailed entertainment '' and a `` terrifically good - natured, unpretentious and irresistibly buoyant film ''. NME 's Larry Bartleet also gave it five stars, calling it `` more enchanting to your inner kid than the Potter films ever were ''. IndieWire 's Eric Kohn gave the film a B+ saying that it `` delivers the most satisfying period fantasy since Tim Burton 's Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleet Street ``, and that its layers of sophistication made it one of the best Hollywood blockbusters of the year. Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a positive review, writing `` Newt Scamander is nothing like Harry, but it has to be this way. It all has to be different. And it is, but, again, with just enough ' sameness ' to make us feel like we are at home again. I 'm looking forward to wherever these movies are taking us ''. John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film is `` likely to draw in just about everyone who followed the Potter series and to please most of them ''. New York Magazine 's David Edelstein deemed the film a `` distinctly unmagical slog '', remarking that the beasts `` are n't especially fantastic and the effects are too blandly corporate to be exhilarating ''.
