Book Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (SCREENPLAY)
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2017 5:05 am
Title of the book: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay
Authors: J.K. Rowling
Series: Spinoff from the Harry Potter series
Genres: fantasy
Short summary of the story: This book, which reads as a movie script, features the adventures of Newt Scamander in New York the year before he first publishes the titular book. Quidditch players will recognize a lot of Quidditch answers hidden throughout the course of this play!
Good points / bad points: The screenplay was designed to be watched in theaters - not read as a book (similar to Cursed Child, but Fantastic Beasts is much easier to get the chance to see in theaters). The story is surprisingly captivating even for those, like me, who are extremely frustrated with Pottermore and have their issues with Ilvermorny and JKR's take on American Wizarding history!
