Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

First off, I would like to say that my last post has accumulated 190+ likes on Tumblr and I could not be more grateful for that. The topic of fanfiction is not one that is taken as seriously as most writers (like myself) do and it’s terrible because it’s a form of writing which constitutes as an art. Art is an important topic in our lives, it allows us to express, to feel, to be strengthened, to be inspired, and to be educated.

So I would like to thank those who have given that particular post an incredibly high population on Tumblr. Also thank you to my followers in general for making this blog successful, awesome, and amazing. Keep on writing whatever makes you happy, from fanfiction to sonnets and let nothing stop you.

Anyway, onward with tonight’s entry!

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them” has been in the news the past few days. We now have a picture of our main character, Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne) with a wand in hand, a briefcase in the other, and standing before a regal set of stairs. If we examine the ground closely, we will see it reads: Congress of the United States of America.

This ties into our next point wherein JK Rowling has deemed American Muggles as ‘No-Maj’. Pronounced as ‘no madge’ it’s simply short for no magic. Newt finds himself in 1926 New York with a suitcase that has Timelord technology that houses various habitats for creatures that he collects and researches as a magizoologist. In New York, wizards are threatened by the No-Maj and are fearfully hiding their magical abilities. Their exposure is incredibly dangerous and apparently it’s far worse in the United Kingdom, causing Salem With trial like events to occur.  Somehow the creatures break loose from Newt’s magical suitcase and from there onward Newt goes on an adventure that could only predate the existence of Harry Potter.

So far we’ve seen some photographs of the new film, featuring the title screen and the cast. We see Newt Scamander in these pictures, but we also see Porpentina “Tina” Goldstein (played by Katherine Waterston), Queenie Goldstein (played by Alison Sudol), and Jacob Kowalski (played by Dan Folger). From what the pictures reveal, some of the film was shot in Leavesden, United Kingdom.

I’m not sure about you guys, but my internal Potterhead is bursting with excitement for this movie.  While we only have another year to go (November 18^th, 2016), I believe the wait will definitely be worth it. After all, this is one of JK Rowling’s pieces and her work is phenomenal – just like her Harry Potter movies and theme parks. Here’s hoping “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” stays true to the book and does not disappoint!
