Synopsis Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Magic-zoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) arrives in 1926 in New York, after an excursion around the world to investigate and if needed save fable animals. He is visiting the city to attend a congress of magicians. His visit to the town gets completely out of hand when Newt meets the intriguing No-Maj (American for Muggle) Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler, Kung Fu Panda). Jacob opens the seemingly normal suitcase of Newt, thus letting various mythical creatures escape to create chaos in the streets of New York. Newt must use his magic wand and new friends to try and catch the mythical creatures, without endangering the magical and non-magical world.
