Dec 20, 2018 - 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' (2016) Final Trailer The year is 1926, and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) 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.
The Fantastic Beasts films are a fantasy series based on and inspired by the textbook mentioned in the Harry Potter novels by British writer J. K. Rowling. Set in the same Wizarding World franchise, they follow the adventures of Newt Scamander, a self-proclaimed magizoologist, along with Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein, a MACUSA auror.
