My Thoughts on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Trailer Addict

SPOILER WARNING!

I've always been a Harry Potter fan, and the chance to see the Harry Potter universe brought to life on screen again was a dream come true, so when I heard that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was a reality, I couldn't be happier. I saw it on January 1st and I have to say, it was amazing.

The references to Hogwarts and the history of the Harry Potter universe were amazing, and there were constant laughs. It's fairly safe to say that Newt Scamander stole my heart. His derpy, awkward humor had me smiling the entire time, and the love story between Jacob and Queenie was so precious.

It seemed to me that it was a bit obvious that Graves would end up being Grindlewald, but other than that, the movie wasn't that predictable. What did surprise me was that the obscurial turned out to be Credence. I thought for sure that it was the little girl.

I was also surprised that the movie didn't focus as much on the magical creatures as I thought it would. They seemed to be minor compared to the obscurial and discovering who it was.

Overall though, I loved the movie. It was hilarious on certain parts and a little sad in others. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next installment of this movie series.

I will say one thing though, I you haven't read or watched the original Harry Potter series, you're going to be completely lost as to what's going on in the movie. If you want to see it, I highly encourage it, just catch up on the original series first.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
