I heard that it is a prequel to the HP series. It has nothing to do with HP except magic, and the scene of this play has also been transferred from the UK to New York, USA (in fact, I didn’t go to the United States, just set up a studio outside London to shoot the movie. 2333).
However, it is precisely because of the "prequel" banner that I have low expectations for this drama (without watching the trailer).
The film begins with Newt Scamander, a British wizard, taking his pets to New York, USA, to explore other magical beasts in the world.
Newt, who set foot in New York, accidentally lost a pet, causing more pets to go missing, leading to a series of accidents. He met American magician sisters Tina Goldstein and Queenie Goldstein, and others. Jakob Kowalski the Magician.
The story revolves around Eddie's adventures to find his pets with the help of Katherine and Dan, but at this time the United States is going through an uncontrollable magic test - a boy who can't control his own magic is caught by Percival Gray. Fuss used it to destroy American society, and even killed the future presidential candidate of the Muggle world in the United States at that time. While creating panic, it also successfully aroused the fear and anxiety of Muggles about the unknown magical world.
After the boy was taken advantage of, he was abandoned by Percival alone and ravaged New York. As the male protagonist, Newt naturally has the task of saving, so Newt entrusts his magical animals to others and saves the magical boy by himself... Regarding the saving part, I feel that the ending is very weak, between saving and being saved. In the meantime, there is no heroic plot of European and American movies, but how to eliminate the traces left by this storm has been emphasized as the key point. The final rain wiped out Muggle memories of magic, and also caused the audience to suddenly wake up in a battle with Fantastic Beasts.
This is an encounter with magical animals, and the adventures and recovery have arranged scenes for particularly fun animals, but it does not involve where to find them. Although it can be seen from the animal that finally rained Muggles to forget magic, it was a combination of an owl and a phoenix tail. Other animals also made some adjustments in real animals and gave them some magical skills, but from Newt's hand-held The reserved space of the box has become an open space for everyone's imagination.
This movie is better than expected, and I think it looks good because of low expectations. But in fact, Newt said that he wanted to go on an adventure to catch magical animals in the big American girl's waist, but he didn't go ahead, and time was spent on retrieving the original pets; saving the boy who couldn't control his magic did not succeed, I thought it would lead to The bigger climax, unaware that the climax is over, hastily ending to erase all Muggle memories of this sudden magical disaster; it was also the tough point in the end that Newt wrote a book like this. In terms of feelings, I want to give the movie full marks; in terms of animal settings, I want to give the movie full marks; in terms of character design, the characters of the male and female protagonists are not full, and the plot does not know whether to focus on "Fantastic Beasts" or "Magic Power" The Uncontrollable Boy Disaster". If it is the former, the focus may not be clear; if it is the latter, then the plot at the hasty ending feels very weak, and the logic is too weak to justify itself. In essence, magic has no special connection with HP other than "magic" and "animal". It is also said that this magical series can produce five parts, and the next one is expected to be in 2019. The HP series is a stimulating and magical dream for your childhood and teenagers, while the magical series is to use magic and magical animals to accompany you from youth to middle age and still remember the dream of the past.
Fantastic Beasts and the way you can find them is in Newt`s suitcase...
