Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them

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.

The year is 1926 and Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

New York, 1926. Le monde des sorciers est en grand danger. Une force mystérieuse sème le chaos dans les rues de la ville : la communauté des sorciers risque désormais d'être à la merci des Fidèles de Salem, groupuscule fanatique des Non-Maj’ (version américaine du "Moldu") déterminé à les anéantir. Quant au redoutable sorcier Gellert Grindelwald, après avoir fait des ravages en Europe, il a disparu… et demeure introuvable.

Animali Fantastici e dove trovarli ci porta alla scoperta di una nuova era del magico mondo di J.K. Rowling, ambientata decenni prima di Harry Potter, e dall'altra metà del globo, con protagonista Eddie Redmayne nel ruolo del Magizoologo Newt Scamander. Siamo nel 1926, il magico mondo Newyorkese è minacciato da pericoli sempre crescenti. Qualcosa di misterioso sta seminando la distruzione per le strade, rischiando di far uscire allo scoperto la comunità magica dinanzi ai No-Mag (termine americano per Babbani), tra cui i Secondi Salemiani, una fazione di fondamentalisti intenti al loro sradicamento.

Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It is the middle of the 20s and times are troubled since the already fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people that the MACUSA Congress struggles to maintain, is at risk of being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At the same time, by a twist of fate, Newt's precious suitcase will be switched with the identical one of an aspiring No-Maj baker, Jacob Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard.
