I‘m a fan of Harry Potter‘s wizarding world, but this book is different. It‘s a screenplay for one. Also it‘s set earlier than the HP books, in America, with different bad guys. It was ok, short, a lot of action. I‘ll che k out the next one to see if this introduction to characters & storyline gets better.

A beautiful way to return to the magical world that we all love. So good to read this again to fully enthrall myself in the magic and fantasy that made many childhoods

I love the wizarding world, and I really enjoyed the Fantastic Beasts movies, so I really wanted to read the screenplay since I've read the HP books. It was enjoyable, and though screenplays aren't often something I enjoy, I actually liked reading this one. It was exactly the same as the movie (as it's the screenplay) so I followed it easier since I remember the movie well.
*Just a note that I do not like the author, jusy the wizarding world*

It is a screenplay so it is structured differently so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed it, it is a completely different wizarding world than HP but it's really good! Can't wait to see the movie!

There was a lot of little moments that I missed during the movie. I probably wouldn't have noticed them if I hadn't read this screenplay.

Even though it was a screenplay, it was still written like a Harry Potter story. It still had that easy to read flow that pulls you into the story and keeps you captivated until the very end.

Another great quote from J. K. Rowling. There is a lot of truth to it.

I‘m going to have to disagree about Fantastic Beasts. Movie 1 is my favorite in the magical world! https://apple.news/AsOIzBcwrR-qEgEF62EStyQ

sprainedbrain Agree with you about Fantastic Beasts! And I‘m going to have to disagree with The Cat in the Hat. I love that movie! I guess I‘m just vulgar. 😂 3y
LibrarianRyan Let‘s see. The Jim Carey Grinch, Eragon, and there‘s a newer one but apparently it‘s so bad I forgot the name. 3y
Scochrane26 I like fantastic beasts a lot, & the 2nd was ok. I‘m unhappy about Johnny Depp, I wish they had cast someone else. 3y

Definitely a heart warming story. I want to watch the movie now. This is the first book where I actually wanted to cry when Jacob had to step out in the rain, but even if he can‘t remember everything completely, I‘m glad he remembers a little bit and sees Queenie in the end. For those who want to imagine the story instead of watch it, I definitely recommend this book.

Using my new ☔️ today! Hubby dragged me out in the sleet and rain to walk to the school to pick Maya up this afternoon, so I lied on my earlier post, #LitsyWalkers 😜

Isn‘t it such a cute umbrella? It‘s covered in magical creatures from Harry Potter! Goes quite well with my hat. 😃 Ignore the snarky face I‘m making. 😂

I love the word of Harry Potter and this is a great addition. I read the book “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” that Jo wrote back in 2001 for charity. When I found out it was going to be a movie, I was so excited. The story is great, with a bunch of twists and turns.
#harrypotter #fantasticbeasts #newtscamander #jkrowling #screenplay

GingerAntics This was a great help in understanding the events of the movie. I saw the movie when it first aired on USA network, but unfortunately it was in the middle of making dinner so I missed some important parts. I could even pick out the parts of the movie I missed while making dinner. I‘m excited to see the movie again so I can take in the whole thing. 5y

Two new books for my J.K.Rowling collection. I can't really call it a Harry Potter collection any more I suppose. I don't have them all in hardcover. Just the ones that came out after we had started reading them. I've always liked the feel of paperbacks over hardcovers. I can't deny how pretty these are though.

I needed something a little lighter this evening, so I picked up this book I hadn‘t made the time to read yet. I wasn‘t especially impressed with the storyline, but it was a fun, quick read with plenty of action and entertaining characters.

#WinterStormReadathon

JazzFeathers I bought it because the hard back edition is just so gorgeous. I saw the film and it seems to me as the book is perfectly the same. I'll read it anyway sooner or later. 5y

Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them with a friend yesterday night (we had a gals' night) and really liked it. She told me the second is even better, more complex.

The good-fortune fish-purse is a gift from another friend who brought it for me from Japan.

You guuuuuys!!! I was out and about shopping for some of you wonderful Littens today but I got a little selfish... if you haven't been to your local Target, RUN over there bc this guy was on clearance. He was only $20 instead of the $30-40 he was originally. I know that's still a steep price, but I wanted him since I found out about him... so I splurged 🙈🙉🙊 He's the Special Edition figure that sits a foot tall. He's so cute!!! 😍😍😍

vkois88 @craftylikefox awww I saw Dobby once but couldn't justify full price for him, so I am kicking myself now. He was so cute!!! I was honestly stunned to see this guy in the shelf... I hadn't heard of anyone in my area seeing any. It makes me want to go double check my other local store (the one today was 30 min away, a quick stop after the closest BAM). Maybe there's a Dobby hiding somewhere 🤔🤔🤔 5y

I haven't seen the second movie yet so I wanted to read the books first. The screenplay sometimes in my opinion was confused and not well integrated. However, this is a screenplay so is the director who is going to put magic in the way he/she integrates the scenes, words becomes alive through technology! I think it was ok 3.4 ⭐️in the way it was written, for me as a common reader. I will see this first movie again. Book stays with me, so pretty😍
