"Yesterday a wizard entered New York with a case. A case full of magical creatures, and unfortunately, some have escaped." Show Newt Scamander: I'm writing a book about magical creatures. Advertisement: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a film released on November 17, 2016, the first of the Spin-Off film series Fantastic Beasts and the ninth film overall in the Harry Potter franchise (rebranded Wizarding World when it came out). Written by J. K. Rowling and directed by David Yates, the director of the last four Harry Potter movies. The film follows Newt Scamander, a British wizard with a penchant for magical creatures that he keeps in his spacious briefcase, who arrives in the United States in 1926 to do a favour for a friend. Unfortunately, a chance encounter with a No-Maj leads to the two accidentally switching each other's briefcases, leading to a few of Newt's creatures wreaking havoc on Manhattan when the suitcase is opened. When Newt learns of this, he also discovers that magic-related violence has struck the city, with his creatures being seen as a scapegoat for it. With the assistance of an ex-Auror, her sister, and the No-Maj, it's up to Newt to rescue his creatures, clear his name, and uncover the source of the magical violence occurring in New York City.
