Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

CriticsCritics: 70
AudienceAudience: 7.4

In 1926, a creature-loving wizard arrives in New York with a magically expanded case full of fantastic beasts. When several creatures escape, he teams up with new acquaintances to find them, while the mishap draws the attention of wizarding authorities and adds strain to relations between magical and non-magical people.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like magical creatures, playful fantasy, and a glimpse of a wider wizarding world; Not for you if you need a tightly focused story or deeply developed characters.
