Description
“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is a book written by British author J.K. Rowling. The book was originally published in 2001 as a companion to the Harry Potter series and is presented as a textbook used by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The fictional author of the book is Newt Scamander, a magizoologist (someone who studies magical creatures) and a character within the wizarding world.
The book is written in a humorous and informative style, providing a catalog of magical creatures along with descriptions, classifications, and in-universe anecdotes. It’s presented as if it were Harry Potter’s own copy of the textbook, complete with his handwritten notes and doodles.
In 2016, a film adaptation with the same title, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” was released. The film is a prequel to the Harry Potter series and is set in the wizarding world but decades before the events of the books. The movie follows Newt Scamander, portrayed by Eddie Redmayne, as he travels to New York City with a magical suitcase containing a menagerie of magical creatures. The creatures escape, leading to a series of magical and fantastical adventures.
The film was followed by sequels, expanding on the wizarding world and introducing new characters and magical elements. The “Fantastic Beasts” series represents an extension of J.K. Rowling’s storytelling beyond the original Harry Potter books, providing fans with new perspectives and adventures in the magical universe she created.
