The “Harry Potter” spin off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, released the first trailer and I have to admit, it looks pretty intriguing.
The film takes place in 1920s New York, 70 years before Harry reads magizoologist Newt Scamander’s book of the same name at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them follows Newt Scamander as he searches for fantastical beasts and unusual creatures while telling the story of an American community who must deal with a judgmental and prejudiced anti-magic society called the New Salem Philanthropic Society. The sinister group, led by Mary Lou (Samantha Morton), will go to great lengths to kill any and all witches and wizards.
Eddie Redmayne, who plays Newt, will be joined by Carmen Ejogo, Gemma Chan and Jon Voight, as well as Colin Farrell and Ezra Miller.
The film, which will be directed by David Yates, marks the screenwriting debut of Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits theaters Nov. 18, 2016. You can watch the trailer below.
