The tale before Harry Potter

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2016)

70 years before the events of the Harry Potter series, the story deals with Newt Scarmonger who was mentioned by Hermione Granger that he was the author of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them book. The year is 1926 in which Newt arrives in New York, hoping to find more magical creatures as a way of protecting them and making the wizarding community more knowledgeable about them. There is a also a threat of a mysterious wizard named Gert Grinwald who was considered the second most dangerous wizard behind the infamous Lord Voldemort. There is also the no mags which is the American way of saying muggles who have hunted wizards and witches for centuries. I will say in terms of the film, I would say it has a combination of light and dark moments but more like the first two Harry Potter films.
