Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them [DVD] [2016]

very pleased with this item

Not had time to watch this film yet but also going to get the rest of them including the Harry Potter film on 4K I have the slandered Harry Potter Blu Ray set but going to get the 4K set next

JK Rowling’s imagination runs riot in this marvelously entertaining and exhilarating fantastical fable set within her hocus-pocus Harry Potter universe. Into the bustling jazz-age wizarding world of New York in the 1920s Eddie Redmayne’s shy and bumbling magizoologist Newt Scamander disembarks carrying a Tardis-like leather briefcase containing a menagerie of extraordinary creatures which are accidentally let loose in a city rife with fear and paranoia. With the assistance of a John Candy-esque No-Maj (Muggle) and two feisty and resourceful young witches Newt attempts to round-up his outlandish possessions while endeavoring to maintain a low profile. Unfortunately, inevitable complications arise and Newt finds himself slap-bang in the middle of a struggle between sinister forces. However, despite some darker moments the tone of the movie is much more upbeat than the latter Harry Potter films with the special effects, cinematography and lush musical score effectively contributing to producing a frenetically energetic and bewitchingly enjoyable two and a half hours, laced with romance and good natured humour. For devout aficionados there are countless minute details which nod to the previous films, but this is a movie which undoubtedly stands on its own and is an impressive forerunner to other movies in the making. I will be watching this again.

Entertaining but don't expect another Harry Potter
