Review: "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"

It truly was fantastic.

Review: "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"
Collider

For those of you who love Harry Potter as much as I do, I'm sure you've been looking forward to the release of "Fantastic Beasts" just like me.

I was able to see the movie with my family in the theater and let me tell you something: it truly was fantastic. Don't worry, I won't give away any spoilers or anything like that, but I will gush about how much I already love this movie.

I'll start off by saying that J. K. Rowling is an absolute genius and should be constantly praised and adored for her work. If you couldn't tell from all of the Harry Potter books and movies, everything is thought out so completely and intricately interwoven that there are absolutely no loose ends and there's a new, surprising connection after every turn, and that continues into this new film. It's insane.

"Fantastic Beasts" takes place 70 years before the first Harry Potter, but connections are made to information we already have from watching the Harry Potter movies and it's incredibly refreshing to see everything slowly coming together. It's like we can breathe a little easier already. (I promised that I wouldn't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet, but pay attention to characters' names when you do see it!)

I think it's also important to mention how great the graphics are. Everything is put together so seamlessly that everything looks incredibly real most of the time, which is pretty impressive for a movie about magic. A lot of times in other movies you can see where something has been layered on top of other pieces or when they use a green screen. I may have just been so absorbed in the the movie I didn't notice, but, after taking a few classes film and graphics, there were very few times where I thought something could have been done better or differently.

This film is one of the best movies I've seen and I'm not just saying that because I love all things Harry Potter. I highly recommend seeing it as soon as you possibly can.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
