A magic film by JK Rowling!

This year in November the film “Fantastic beasts and where to find them” has been released on Friday 18 and is a prequel of Harry Potter’s world.

The story is set in 1926, when Newt Scamander goes to New York to buy a magic beast. Unfortunately for him, the ex Auror Tina Goldstein arrests Newt for being a wizard unregistered and takes him to MACUSA (a magical congress).

In the mid-time, in Jacob’s flat (a muggle that accidentally takes Newt’s suitcase) various creatures destroy his apartment, running away from the suitcase of Newt. Then, when the president of MACUSA dismisses the case, Tina takes Newt and Jacob to her apartment, where her sister lives.

In the night, Newt shows Jacob the inside of his suitcase, that contains several magical beasts. After leaving the bag, Newt wants to take his Niffler with Jacob and then they return inside the suitcase.

Tina brings the case to the President, and she arrests Tina and Newt thinking that they’re conspiring with the dark wizard Gellert, because she believes Newt’s Obscurus has killed the Senator. So she decides to destroy Newt’s suitcase and she sentences to death the wizards. Thanks to one of his creatures, they run away from MACUSA and they succeed to take the suitcase. In the city they capture the last animals, while the obscurus destroys New York.

At the end, Credence is the Obscurus and Grimes (a wizard from MACUSA) turns out to be Gellert Grindelwald, the dark wizard. The President apologizes with Newt and orders to obliviate Jacob and the city, Newt does it with Queenie and one of his creatures.

The movie ends when Newt goes to Europe, but first gives his book to Tina and helps Jacob to open a bakery. This film is based on one book: “Fantastic beasts: where to find them” by Newt Scamander, wrote by JK Rowling. We can see it in the library of Hogwarts, in Harry Potter books. There will be five films, next will be on 2018. Maybe we will see Voldemort as Tom Riddle and Dumbledore. I can say that it was a great movie and it has brought me back to a magical world that I missed for long time.
