The final trailer for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the new movie set in the "Harry Potter" universe, just came out, and I have not been this excited about a trailer for a long time. While I'm sure it will be a good movie in its own right, I'm mostly just excited because of how much I love "Harry Potter" in general. I mean, I have a "Harry Potter" tattoo, for crying out loud.
This trailer, and the upcoming movie itself, will mean a lot of things, both to me and to pop culture. This film will introduce a whole new generation of people to the "Harry Potter" universe, and I think that's so exciting. It's a lot easier for young people to fall in love with a series that is still being released, so this new trilogy of films will hopefully grab some of the people who missed it the first time around.
I grew up loving the "Harry Potter" movies, so I'm thrilled that we'll be getting more of them. Knowing that J.K. Rowling wrote the screenplay for the film makes me even more excited, as I know that it will be everything I could hope for. She wouldn't write a storyline that she didn't believe in for this universe she created that so many people are invested in. I'm also positive that the writing will be brilliant because I would expect nothing less from Rowling.
One other thing that is exciting to me about this movie is that Eddie Redmayne is starring in it, and I absolutely love him. After his speech at the Oscars, I cannot find fault with him; he is simply too adorable for words, and I know that he will make this movie everything it can be. The fact that Ezra Miller (the secret love of my life) will be in it also just makes everything infinitely better.
Finally, anything that is canonically "Harry Potter" will get my ultimate seal of approval. If J.K. Rowling approves it, I wouldn't dare to find genuine fault with it. Sure, I might have nitpicky issues, but I know that I'll love it just as much as I love everything else within the universe. I love "Harry Potter," and the "Fantastic Beasts" movie will just be one more thing that I can love.
Overall, I cannot wait for this movie to come out in November, and it's one I'll definitely be seeing in theaters. I'm positive that it will make me laugh, smile, and cry throughout the film, and I'm sure I'll walk away positively furious that I'll have to wait two more years for the sequel.
