Movie synopsis:

"The year is 1926, and Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds."

Where do I even start with this? 
It's all very exciting, squeals and fangirling and full on Potter-head mood.

From the moment I saw the trailer a year ago, I knew this new story will blow my brain to pieces. The fact that J.K.Rowling decided to takes us all back into the wizarding world after 9 years of waiting, thrilled the 11 years old kid in me more than life. It also scared the living hell out of me because I was scared of being disappointed. But come on it's Rowling and Yates, they beat up every expectation I had for and a smidge more.

This new adventure takes place in New York city, 1926 right in the middle of the American wizarding society. It follows Newt Scamander as he sails from England to the US in order to "buy a birthday gift"; now of course you should not fall for that. What's interesting about Mr. Scamander is that he enters NYC with a leather case full of beasts, beautiful, rare and of every kind beasts. Not being the luckiest guy out there, things doesn't go like a piece of cake for him.

Rowling took us into a world we're familiar with like our own names, yet it's completely new to us. Not many details about it were revealed in this installment which left me wanting for more, more knowledge about the wizarding society of america, the culture, the era itself... i certainly hope for these gaps to be filled throughout the sequels.

Putting my curiosity on the side, I found myself enjoying this more than possible, I loved everything about the plot, the freak-out-moments twists and the direction Rowling is taking the story in is definitely promising. That woman is a mastermind.
