it’s time to revisit the Wizarding World
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
fantastic beasts and where to find them
movie facts I don’t think I’m doing okay
it away I can’t get the brains to make
this up for this list we’re taking a
look at interesting trivia surrounding
the latest film set in the Harry Potter
universe number 10 it’s a spin-off the
strange things going on all over the
city
people behind this are not like you and
me just to clarify up front fantastic
beasts isn’t a sequel to the Harry
Potter saga it actually takes place
several decades before Harry was even
born but the film isn’t exactly a
prequel either what makes Albus
Dumbledore so fond of you
mr. Scott JK Rowling who of course
created this highly successful franchise
describes the movie as quote an
extension of the Wizarding World
functioning as a spin-off the story
follows Maja’s wala gist Newt Scamander
on a journey to recover a collection of
magical creatures and is the first of
five films in this new series we’re
going to recapture my creatures before I
get hurt they’re currently in alien
terrain surrounded by millions of the
most vicious creatures on the planet
humans scamander is a character that
harry potter super fans might remember
as he was first mentioned in the novel
the Philosopher’s Stone his character
has also surfaced in the harry potter
screen adaptations but fantastic beasts
marks the characters first official
appearance introducing us to another era
of wizards welcome to New York number 9
Colin Farrell loves Harry Potter a
completely promise Harry not gonna risk
havin another little kid Diane Lee
considering several of his in Bruges
co-stars already popped up in the Harry
Potter films it was only a matter of
time until Colin Farrell appeared in
this franchise as well so to be part of
that universe I was kind of always a
little bit annoyed that I never got a
call in fantastic beasts Farrell plays
Percival graves an or which is basically
the magical equivalent of a police
officer as the director of magical
security graves is assigned with hunting
Newt down I refuse to bow down any more
in an interview with cinema blend the
Irish actor discussed why this project
piqued his interest in addition to
simply needing the work Farrell was
attracted to JK Rowling’s imaginative
world which appeals to kids and parents
alike to sweeten the deal Farrell got to
use a quote King wand as he put it be a
little bit embarrassing when maybe
certain effects aren’t put in yes and
your
nothing is happening number eight
director David Yates returns it seems
you could be cooking up a trilogy maybe
vicious rumors we’ve got Joe’s written
the second one which is really exciting
David Yates is no stranger to this
franchise he initially broke into
mainstream popularity when he directed
Harry Potter and the order of the
Phoenix sorry I’m just not tell lies
Yates went on to direct the following
three Harry Potter films all of which
earned high praise from critics and
audiences thus the English filmmaker was
a natural choice to helm fantastic
beasts Yates is also on board to direct
the second entry in this new series
although it hasn’t been confirmed if
he’ll return for the next three films
I’m the first one she’s written the
second one she’s got ideas for the third
one in any case let’s hope Yates can
work his magic again here based on his
track record though it’s probably safe
to say that the series is in capable
hands
must get that fixed anything edible in
there
I’m a no-no number seven a second Salem
no one off your opinion you filthy
little mudblood the Harry Potter series
combated topics of bigotry and
oppression within the Wizarding World
fantastic beasts on the other hand we’ll
delve into how the muggle community
views the magical community you wiped
his memory right the no magic what no
magic they’re not on wizard sorry we
pull the muggles wizards and witches
face annihilation with the rise of the
New Salem philanthropic Society also
known as the second Salem errs witches
live among us this radical group of
course derives inspiration from the
Salem witch trials during which over 200
individuals were accused of practicing
witchcraft are you protecting Satan
confess you did see attacking still no
it’s a prime example of how history
often repeats itself in a seemingly
never-ending cycle of prejudice the
child tensions continue to grow as Newt
accidentally loses track of his
dangerous creatures which puts both the
magical world and the non magical world
at risk mrs. Grandin do you know
anything about the Wizarding community
in America I know that you have rather
backward stores about relations with no
magic people number 6 alternative
casting choices don’t panic there’s
absolutely nothing to worry about
fantastic beasts features a spectacular
cast but like in other productions
plenty of other talented performers
auditioned before Oscar winner Eddie
Redmayne was cast as Newt Scamander the
filmmakers considered Nicholas Hoult
and the eleventh doctor himself Matt
Smith had eye on the dog time Kathryn
Waterston beat out Kate Upton and
Elizabeth de vikke for the part of Tina
well I don’t care meanwhile Saoirse
Ronan Willie Simmons and Dakota Fanning
were all up to play Tina’s younger
sister Queenie but American actress
Alison sudol ultimately landed the role
tini
he brought mint home mr. Scamander
he’s lost something I’m going to help
him find the film additionally stars
comedian Dan Fogler as newts non-magical
friend Jacob hey mr. English guy I think
your egg is hatching
Buller faced stiff competition as Josh
GAD and Michael Cera were also in talks
Sarah turned down the role however to
voice Robin in the Lego Batman movie
Batman whoa your time right whoa wait
just Batman live in Bruce Wayne’s
basement no Bruce Wayne lives in
Batman’s attic number 585 magical
species come on Kanishka during Harry’s
first year at Hogwarts fantastic beasts
and where to find them is a required
textbook that provides a basic
introduction to Maja’s Awaji the book
includes background information
regarding 85 magical species discovered
throughout the Wizarding World
just like your suitcase I think this
much more to you than meets the eye it’s
unknown exactly how many creatures will
appear in this big screen adaptation
based on the trailer footage though we
can count on seeing NIF lers house elves
Billy Wiggs ah kameez Demi guises and
Thunderbirds and that’s just the tip of
the iceberg as a variety of fantastic
beasts escape from newts magical
briefcase

number 4 JK rowling screenplay debut my
heroes are always people who feel
themselves to be set apart stigmatized
or other day I’ll know that JK Rowling
wrote all seven books in the main Harry
Potter series but under the pseudonym of
Newt Scamander

textbook for the charity comic relief
the fictional textbook provided the
groundwork for this feature film which
is Rowling’s first screenwriting
endeavor you’ve known for 24 hours that
an unregistered wizard set magical
beasts loose in New York yes while
crafting the screenplay Rowling received
help from director David Yates and Steve
cloves who adapted a majority of the
Harry Potter novels to the silver screen
according to Yeates Rowling has also
written the script for the second
fantastic beasts film with plans for
another three it’s something that has
implications for the whole Wizarding

force as stated before this fantasy
adventure will have no shortage of
magical beings of all the fantastic

evil has arguably generated the most
buzz

previous books or movies this flying
creature will make its Potter verse
debut in fantastic beasts and where to
find them with blue and green wings this
beast resembles a reptile and a
butterfly all rolled into one as its
intimidating name suggests the swooping
evil can be quite deadly possessing the
ability to suck out brains on the
plus-side its venom can be used to
eradicate bad memories still it wouldn’t
exactly be the ideal house pet no human
could do this thing’s capable of number
