Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them



This film is based off of the J.K. Rowling book of the same title. It is a prequel to the Harry Potter films, but not a Harry Potter movie, just another story within the Harry Potter universe.
I thought the beginning of the story was slow moving and it took a bit to figure out what the true purpose of the plot would be. Once it was revealed, it became a bit predictable, but still engaging. 
I thought the visual display of the universe and the magical beasts within it was pretty creative and interesting.
The main cast had great chemistry and were quite entertaining and fun. I especially enjoyed Eddie Redmayne's character, Newt Scamander, he plays a great mix of quirky and confident. 
I also liked some of the subtle touches that were made to a couple of more well-known characters from the Harry Potter franchise. 
Overall this is a fun, family friendly film that I would definitely recommend checking out.
