Ahem, about the magical world, we should all face it with a serious attitude.
This "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was originally a textbook used by Harry Potter at Hogwarts, that is, the textbook for "Fantastic Beasts Protection Class". The author is the famous magical zoologist Newt Scamman, The book details the living habits of seventy-five magical animals and their opinions on how to care for them. In 2001, J.K. Rowling published this book, in the words of the book, "Almost every wizarding family has a "Magic". Where are the Animals?", even Muggles can read it as a reference book, and it sells well in both the wizarding world and the real world.
The movie "Fantastic Beasts" is not a continuation of the "Harry Potter" series, or even two completely different stories. It is more like another branch in the magical world, a corner of Rowling's huge magical totem , gradually formed its own bones and flesh, shape and character through years of nurturing. The movie is also confirmed to be a new series of movies, and it will be five (applause here), and this is just the beginning, the real story and characters may have more incredible plots in the future, maybe There's also going to be a "How to Cook a Delicious Fantastic Beasts Guide," who knows.
The background time of the story is set in 1926, and the coordinates are New York. Recalling the "United States" of the 1920s, it was really a golden age to talk about. The melody of jazz wandered into every tavern, from New Orleans. It began to spread, and many people took the road of taking out loans and starting businesses. Everyone seemed to have the potential to become the next Gatsby. New ideas and new ideas took root here. Girls cut their long hair to show people with short wavy hair. They smoked and danced. They were a new generation of women seeking liberation. This was an era of great economic development—the crazy twenties.
Aunt Rowling once gave a detailed introduction in "The History of Magic in North America", which can be said to be the foreshadowing of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Unlike the wizarding world of Harry Potter, wizards and Muggles are forbidden to make friends here. Intermarriage, and even daily communication, must be kept to a minimum, and violators are considered to have violated wizarding law and are punished by the death penalty. At the same time, they are not popular with Muggles\No-Majes, and there is a fanatical organization dedicated to hunting them: Second Salem. (PS: Here, ordinary people who do not know magic are collectively referred to as No-Maj, which means the same as Muggle, but is called differently.)
Thinking about it, I feel that this is a terrible dark history in the wizarding world. The powerful black magician Gellert Grindelwald disappeared after causing a catastrophe in Europe. No one has been able to find it so far, and the whole city is panicking. , who is this Grindelwald? He is the beautiful young man who fell in love with Dumbledore and killed each other. They spent a wonderful time together when they were young. Two equally smart, talented wizards and like-minded wizards fought for a common ideal. Wo was too radical and went to the fate of being an anti-social, becoming the evil side of the world, and had to be imprisoned by Dumbledore.
Maybe in the sequel, Rowling will show the love-hate relationship between two men, and there will also be a confrontation of the century between Grindelwald and Dumbledore. I feel a little excited when I think about it.
In addition, the United States also has a magic school like Hogwarts in the United Kingdom - Ilvermony (Ilvermony School). This campus is located in Mount Greylock, Massachusetts. Rowling gave a detailed introduction in "Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry", and Muggles/No-Majes who are interested in this college can learn about it.
Eddie Redmayne, the actor who plays Newt in the movie, is the male protagonist of the film. He is called "Little Freckles" by all corners of the world. He played Hawking in "The Theory of Everything". With his own aura of aristocracy, he shares a middle school with Prince William. He is a master of Cambridge and the little prince in the stage play. He has been rated as the best dressed British man by GQ for two consecutive years. It is no wonder that girls fall in love with such a sturdy life. He was a matter of minutes, and J.K. Rowling couldn't have been more appropriate to play Newt.
In the movie, the little freckles came to New York alone, but he did not expect that all the six small animals in the magic suitcase ran out, jumped up and down in New York City, and made a fool of themselves. I also met a Mr. No-Maj who wanted to open a cake shop, and an Auror, Tina, and Tina's best friend Queenie. Tina served in the Magical Congress of the United States (later suspended), which was established in 1693. In the United States, it is abbreviated as MACUSA (Mah-cooz-ah) by wizards and witches.
Next, let's see what's in the little freckles' mysterious box:
1. Niffer
Produced in Britain, covered with black fluff, a duckbill and small eyes, cute, keen on all things sparkling, can dig treasures deep underground, advice: not suitable for keeping as a pet (it is not Pokemon) because they have the ability to destroy houses.

3. Bowtruckle is

6. The animal that Swooping Evil
first appeared in the movie has a pair of blue wings and looks like a reptile and a butterfly. It is mainly a human-eating brain, and the venom secreted by it is diluted Can be used to erase memory.
Perhaps, the world of Harry Potter is really about to wave goodbye to us, but all its details are deeply rooted in our brains, and thankfully, J.K. Rowling said, "If Harry Potter "Fantastic Beasts" was originally a gift for children, and the new story "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be a grown-up world!" It feels so good to be brought back to the magical world by Aunt Rowling once again.
Obviously, in the days to come, it is not Harry Potter that can accompany us, but another wizard (what a great word wizard!), just like the downpour at the end of the film, J.K. Rowling We've all cast an oblivion spell to make us Muggles forget what we've been through; but I guess it's not a goodbye, but a new door to the wizarding world that Ms. Rowling has opened for us.
As a screenwriter, J.K. Rowling is ready to use her talent to conquer the Muggles again. The cute magical animals in the movie, the funny sniffles and the first-class special effects level in the movie will not disappoint you, it is worth going to the cinema 2 Brush; in addition, regarding the Easter egg issue that everyone cares about most, at the end of the movie, there will be a Western actor who is very familiar to Chinese audiences (I won’t spoil it here), of course, if you like him enough, he It's the biggest easter egg in the movie.
Even if the owl sent by Hogwarts to give you the notice gets lost, but with this textbook from the School of Magic, Mom no longer has to worry about your studies. It has been sent to your home before the school starts, very It is necessary to do a good review of your homework, as this is the best way to open a Hogwarts textbook properly.
