Supporting an original screenplay penned by Rowling herself, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them stars Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl) as protagonist Newt Scamander.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in U.S. theaters on November 18th, 2016, followed by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 on November 16th, 2018.
Furthermore, with director David Yates (Harry Potter 5-8) all-set to deliver Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them later this fall, Rowling’s Wizarding World might soon become the top-selling property among general moviegoers once again.
It’s heartening to discover how involved and excited by the process of selecting a wand Redmayne was, and should serve to bleed through into his performance in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them proper.
