Good morning Phoenix! Are you ready for some Friday Flicks? Today’s selection opens in theaters today, so for Mira and the rest of you Harry Potter fans, here we go with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Plot:
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.
Trivia:
• Within the Harry Potter universe, Newt Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was first published in 1927 and became a massive bestseller, as well as an approved textbook at Hogwarts. By the mid-1990s, when the Harry Potter series is set, it was in its 52nd edition. Scamander also has the distinct honor to have his own Chocolate Frog Card.
• The name Newt Scamander appears on the Marauder's Map in the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004).
• Was originally intended to be a trilogy, but as of October 2016 it has been confirmed as a 5-part movie series.
• It has been revealed that "Ilvermorny" will be the name of the American School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (referenced, but supposedly not featured in this movie), much like Hogwarts is for the UK.
• Author and screenwriter J.K. Rowling has announced that this is first of a series of five and she has stated that she will be writing the screenplay to every single one of the films. The two other sequels have already been announced and been a release date 2018 and 2020 however there is no date for the other two sequels, so there is no knowing how long this series will go on for, although she has announced that it won't continue for as long the Harry Potter series.
• Saoirse Ronan, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, and Lili Simmons were considered for the role of Queenie before Alison Sudol was cast.
• 1926 the year the film is set is also the year Voldemort was born.
• The pendant that Graves gives to Credence is The Mark of the Deathly Hallows, the same pendant worn by Xenophilious Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010).
No reported goofs yet – the film is about magic, after all!
Have a fangtastic Friday!
