Fantastic!!

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2016)

Yesterday I went to the local cinema to watch Fantastic Beasts with huge expectations and pure excitement and anticipation. I left the cinema with a huge smile on my face. I loved it. Of course it doesn't totally give you that amazing feeling of being sucked into the magical world of Harry Potter that the HP books(and at some extent the HP movies) give you, but then again, nothing ever will. The HP series are irreplaceable. Still you discover so much about the Wizarding World, and you really feel you are inside that magical Universe. The casting and acting was beyond perfection. I loved Newt's character and the way Eddie portrayed him. I laughed, I felt like crying, I felt suspense, I gaped at the numerous plot twists. It had everything a good movie needs to have. The effects were superb. The writing was as amazing as J.K. Rowling is. Now I know that as a die-hard Potterhead I could be a little biased but that also set my expectations really high. Fantastic Beasts totally lived up to them. This movie lays the groundwork for the whole series and it is certainly going to be an epic journey. If you still haven't watched it, to "Muggles(No-Majs)" I say: it is a movie worth watching. To Potterheads I say: What the hell are you still doing here? Grab your wands and enter the Wizarding World once more!
