It's been over five years since our last glimpse into J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, but that changed when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released last Friday.
As an avid Harry Potter fan, I just had to see it within the first week of its premiere, and I fell in love with the magic (and a new character or two) all over again. To share my admiration for the movie, I've complied a list of five reasons you should go see the movie.
1. It’s the long awaited continuation of the wizarding world that stole our hearts.
Don't tell me you didn't miss the magic and mischief of Rowling's characters.
2. Newt Scamander is a whole lot of British, lanky, smart, and subsequently adorable (aka everything you could ask for in a guy).
I fell for Newt within the first ten minutes, and I'm not even ashamed.
3. The beasts are indeed FANTASTIC.
They all bring their own unique characteristics to the movie, but my personal favorite is the little green Bowtruckle that stands on Newt's shoulders (maybe because I secretly wish I was him).
4. Two words: amazing cinematography.
The creatures, the spells, and the home inside of Newt's suitcase are just a few of the cinematographic elements that
5. There’s no reason not to go see it.
Don't try to deny it. With action, a touch of romance, great visuals, and a snarky main character, Fantastic Beasts leaves nothing to the imagination. It's this year's must-see.
