Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

The Harry Potter deprivation has come to an end and we can all experience a taste of our childhood once again.

Recently over the weekend, J.K Rowling’s new story “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” has been released in theaters. Coming from a huge Harry Potter fan, you can bet I made my way over to the movie theater as soon as I could.

Without giving much away, the movie takes place in the 1920's in New York City. Young Wizard, Newt Scamander, goes on a journey with a mission to educate about the many creatures he carries around in his suitcase. On his journey, he encounters a series of characters including a muggle named Jacob and a worker for the Ministry of Magic named Tina. All the creatures go loose from Newt’s case and the movie is primarily about finding all the creatures. It’s a fun in that way that the movie introduces all these fun creatures like you would see in any Harry Potter film. Similar to Harry Potter, this movie involves a story of dark magic and has a few plot twists towards the end.


And the magic doesn’t end there. The book takes place in 1926 and ends in 1945. JK Rowling clarified that the first film didn’t cover the entire book and it was too long to fit into one film. She states that it spans for decades and revolve around world-shaping events. Therefore, you can expect a second film and possibly more.

I would highly recommend to see this movie especially if you are a Potterhead. I have looked forward to the release of Harry Potter films throughout my childhood and it was more than great to feel the magic again. One thing I truly admired about the film was it had only a few relations to the Harry Potter film and for the most part stood on its own. It was a different take and different setting creating a different feel for the audience. In addition to great acting and great special effects, I think they ended up tying it together well.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
