About the film

A new and original story by J.K. Rowling, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them brings readers back to the wizarding world seventy years before Harry Potter’s story begins.

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.

Starring Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them  has its theatrical release on 17^th November 2016 in New Zealand
