Even though the Harry Potter prequel, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” has not been released yet, its sequel has already been scheduled. Her story Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is garnering a lot of attention as the film adaptation moves towards its November release.

It is yet to be released in theaters this November 18, 2016. Though it is in the same setting, the story happened 19 years after.
But the one available in bookstores is a script, which doesn’t seem quite appropriate for a book claimed to be the last story of Harry Potter.

The movie, set in 1920’s NY, follows Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as he frantically tries to rescue Big Apple residents from the monsters he accidentally unleashes upon them. Growing up with Harry Potter meant growing up with an all-consuming desire to live in that magical world full of chocolate frogs, flying broomsticks, and the ability to brew love potions.
