The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York's secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school.
Good story. In some ways it was a better movie than some of the Harry Potter movies, however it does not have nearly as much depth. The acting was good. I was a bit annoyed by the character Jacob at some points, but at other I laughed out loud. The scenes with the “niffler” seemed excessive. The same goes for the scene with the amorous oversized rhino.
