Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 12A

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes us to a new era in J.K Rowling’s wizarding world, seventy years and before Harry Potter and half a world away. Magizoologist Newt Scamander smells trouble afoot and growing dangers arising in 1926 New York City. Something mysterious is leaving a path of destruction across the streets and threatening to expose the wizarding community to increasing dangers. And the most powerful dark wizard of them all, Gellert Grindlewald has escaped after wreaking havoc in Europe, has slipped away...and is now nowhere to be found. Unaware of the rising tensions, Newt Scamander arrives in the city nearing the end of a global excursion to research and rescue magical creatures, some of which are safeguarded in the hidden dimensions of his deceptively nondescript leather case. But potential disaster strikes when an unsuspecting baker inadvertently lets loose some of Newt’s magical beasts in a city already on edge.

An enchantingly glorious and irresistibly fantastical adventure!
