Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

[Chris]

Second trailer makes me even more excited!! Hearing that HP music again gives me goose bumps

[Martin]

AHHH I'm excited about this! I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but it sounds awesome!

Re-posting this as it was lost recently. The full trailer was recently released for this film:

I just don't know how to feel it's so different to Harry Potter and probably not the type of film I'd watch but it looks so good and I'm still mega excited

[Chris]

It does look a lot different to HP but I don't think that'll be a bad thing. Looks very action packed.

I'm already seeing merchandise around, but it seems interesting and i might go and see it!

British release is tonight in cinemas nationwide.

Being a massive Harry Potter loon I really want to get into it but as there's no book(?) series I can't bring myself to. Also as there's seemingly yet no 'dark force' aka good vs evil plot I am not sure if it'll draw me like the Harry Potter series did.

Apparently, or so I have read, there will be five films in this series with Johnny Depp planned to be cast as Gellert Grinzelwald. The thinking is that at the end of the series it might link in with the Harry Potter story and have Grinzelwald confronted by Albus Dumbledore in that duel that was described in the books as the "greatest wizarding duel of all time".

I'm planning on going maybe at the end of this week with friends. Somebody on Facebook from school is going tonight.

You?

I'm seeing this tomorrow evening! I really hope I like it, I'm dragging along jake who has never really had any interest in Harry Potter so we shall see if he likes it!

[lawrawrrr]

I saw this tonight!

I thought it was pretty slow and it felt like a film that had been written-as-the-first-part-of-five-films rather than a standalone?

It was also really weird watching a film in the HP universe that wasn't outright HP!

I loved the really subtle references to the mainstream HP universe, IN THE SPOILER!

Show Hide

Newt's Hufflepuff scarf, the reference to Dumbledore, the picture of the LESTRANGE woman I was like OMFG

[Red]

Thought it was really slow moving too! And idk if there was even chemistry between newt and porpentina. I just didn't like her character. It deffo wasn't as good as I thought it would be although Eddie was fab.
