Fantastic beasts and where to find them – fantasyaction – Sveriges Radio

Fantastic beasts and where to find them, is the title of a new movie in the Harry Potter universe. We follow Newt Scamander, an englishman who step off the boat in New York city with a frayed suitcase. In the suitcase there are fantastic beasts, small and large, and they make trouble when they flee out of the city. At the same time ravaging an evil magician, and a high-ranking politician is killed. Everything takes place 70 years before Harry Potter’s steps into Hogwarts. But some name in the movie was mentioned in Harry potter as Gellert Grindelwald, who in 1945 besgrades in a legendary duel with Dumbledore.

Are you a big Harry Potter-fan and like stories around so it is certainly exciting to see the Fantastic beasts… I miss Harry, Ron and Hermione. For me, the Harry Potter movies as much uppväxtskildringar as fantasy, and a story about goodness and evil. Here in Fantastic Beasts, it is more action and fantasy

figurines in lots, it feels as if someone really gone away in the frenzy to create as many strange creatures as possible. There will be more movies in the series, Fantastic beasts… Johnny Depp pops up in the end like Gellert Grindelwald, and he will we get to see more of in upcoming movies. Newt Scamander is played by Eddie Redmayne. My rating to Fantastic Beasts and where to find them will be a third.
