What this book is about
J.K. Rowling's screenplay for the 2016 film follows magizoologist Newt Scamander as he arrives in 1920s New York, where creatures escaping from his magical suitcase create chaos just as a mysterious dark force is threatening both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds. The screenplay format is accessible to Potterverse fans who enjoy seeing how Rowling envisions the visual storytelling; the story is a warm expansion of the wizarding world with new characters.
