Potterheads rejoiced this weekend as the prequel to the beloved Harry Potter series was released nationwide. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is another story from the magical world. Taking place in New York City, fifty years (or so) before Harry Potter, Newt Schemander finds himself in a bind when his case of magical creatures go missing in the middle of Manhattan.
J.K. Rowling reminds us once more why we fell in love with her writing with an original screenplay, and it was absolutely the best thing of 2016. Here are ten thoughts every Harry Potter fan probably had while returning to the world of Harry Potter.
