Before Harry Potter. Across an ocean. A new world of magic awaits!

Warner Bros. Pictures is currently hosting a Global Fan Event for their upcoming Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and to ensure all Potterheads get a chance to partake in the festivities, they've launched a live stream for the full event. Academy Award-winner Eddie Redmayne, Golden Globe-winner Colin Farrell, and several other members of the cast are present in both London & Los Angeles to answer questions from fans worldwide, so check them out below.

UPDATE: J.K. Rowling has revealed that instead of the original planned trilogy, she has plotted FIVE new movies. And, judging by her follow-up comments, it sounds like there may be much more to Fantastic Beasts than meets the eye.


You can catch the exclusive featurette with over four minutes of never-before-seen content in the first video, and the full global fan event is streaming in the second link: 





Plus, check out the IMAX poster below:


 
There are growing dangers in the wizarding world of 1926 New York. Something mysterious is leaving a path of destruction in the streets, threatening to expose the wizarding community to the Second Salemers, a fanatical faction of No-Majs (American for Muggles) bent on eradicating them. And the powerful, dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, after wreaking havoc in Europe, has slipped away…and is now nowhere to be found.

Unaware of the rising tensions, Newt Scamander arrives in the city nearing the end of a global excursion to research and rescue magical creatures, some of which are safeguarded in the hidden dimensions of his deceptively nondescript leather case. But potential disaster strikes when unsuspecting No-Maj Jacob Kowalski inadvertently lets some of Newt’s beasts loose in a city already on edge—a serious breach of the Statute of Secrecy that former Auror Tina Goldstein jumps on, seeing her chance to regain her post. However, things take an ominous turn when Percival Graves, the enigmatic Director of Magical Security at MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA), casts his suspicions on both Newt…and Tina.

Now allied, Newt and Tina, together with Tina’s sister, Queenie, and their new No-Maj friend, Jacob, form a band of unlikely heroes, who must recover Newt’s missing beasts before they come to harm. But the stakes are higher than these four outsiders—now branded fugitives—ever imagined, as their mission puts them on a collision course with dark forces that could push the wizarding and No-Maj worlds to the brink of war.

Eddie Redmayne is a SEVERELY OVERRATED actor.

Fight me....

Harry Potter's take on magic has never been interesting to me. I love the series for the characters and mythology but the actual use of magic is whimsical, but underwhelming. Little too whimsical at times.


The battles are literally crossing streams of energy and the occasional 'stupify' every 5 seconds.



I can't recall anything REALLY unique or inventive being done with HP magic.

Just reboot the old movies instead of ham-fisting new ones.
