The Wizarding World of Harry Potter got an extension beyond the original books and movies with the new film series “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” which features the magizoologist Newt Scamander played by Eddie Redmayne.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
