- From a world-building perspective, Fantastic Beasts is a good blend of the Harry Potter universe and an American 1920s period piece. The characters are also mostly fun to follow and there is more heart in this movie than you might expect.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has more stories to tell about her Wizarding World, and like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings before her, she’s doing a prequel story (and her first screenplay) that takes place decades before The Boy Who Lived took on You-Know-Who. Set in 1926 New York City, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them follows soft-spoken, awkward magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as he attempts to return all of the escaped magical creatures to the zoo inside his briefcase. While the beasts are indeed fantastic, watching Newt and his new group of friends round them up just isn’t as entertaining or compelling as Harry, Ron and Hermione running around Hogwarts.
Newt has been sent with Dumbledore’s blessing to research a textbook he’s writing about different fantastic beasts. He’s introverted and a bit clumsy, but he has an earnest passion for weird and potentially dangerous creatures, not unlike Hagrid. After running into disgraced, former auror/wizard cop Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and no-maj/muggle Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), a series of daffy events forces them to stick together. A much-too-late addition to the group is mind-reading sister Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol), the highlight of the quartet with her bright attitude, sugary voice, and a habit of poking into people’s thoughts.
That the group never quite clicks together in the right way is a huge reason the rest of the movie doesn’t find its footing.
While the crazy creatures are the highlight of the movie, they're not enough to recapture the magic of Harry's adventures at Hogwarts. The culprit is the dull directing style that doesn't allow the characters to pop or the plot twists to excite like they should. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a fine time, but it won't exactly sweep you ...
