I have been waiting five years for a new movie from the world of Harry Potter. Finally, last week, the long anticipated movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came out in theaters. I was beyond excited for this movie to come out because Newt Scamander and all of the magical beasts from J.K. Rowling’s magical universe has always been fascinating to me.

Finally, a week after the film was first in theaters, I was able to go see it. I must say, I left the theater impressed.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Eddie Redmayne portrayed the awkward Newt Scamander perfectly! Big things were revealed, such as Newt’s friendship with Bellatrix Lestrange’s ancestor and THERE IS A WIZARDING SCHOOL IN THE GOOD OL’ U.S. of A. LIKE WHO KNEW THIS INFORMATION? Obviously, we’ve known for awhile, but with it being said in the movie, it made the information more real.

Next, Newt’s friend Jacob was super funny. He was an essential part of the ENTIRE FILM and then they just let him get obliviated. Yes, I did say I enjoyed the movie, but I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT at all. Then, when Newt gave him silver and he was able to open his bakery I was so excited. AND THEN HE WAS MAKING PASTRIES IN THE SHAPES OF THE CREATURES HE SAW.

Lastly, HOW THE HECK DID NEWT KNOW THAT THAT DUDE WAS ACTUALLY GRINDELWALD?! I was shocked and then KNOWING THAT IT WAS JOHNNY DEPP. Mind blown.

All in all, the movie was really good. The beasts we met in this movie were amazing and fascinating and FANTASTIC. I won’t spoil too much because I want you to go watch this movie if you’re a Harry Potter fan. I’m hoping that the rumors that it will be in a series is true because I’d love to learn more about the beasts, Newt Scamander, and about his new American friends.
