Review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) by Linttaflamingo — 26 Nov 2016

Harry Potter is the biggest part of my childhood, so it's no surprise that I was waiting for Fantastic Beasts more than anything else this year. But finally the wait is over, and I can feast on this movie with my eyes! And for all you Potterheads out there, I've got some good news! Fantastic Beasts is just what the title says, it is fantastic.

The biggest surprise for me was the fact that this movie doesn't rely on nostalgia and just try to set up sequels, but instead it gives us a good story, interesting characters portrayed by fantastic actors and last but not least, it gives us the feeling that we really are in the Harry Potter world once again! There's magic, there's wonder, there's color and an overall feeling of warmth here.

Eddie Redmayne was such a good choice for the main role, his performance was fantastic, and so was Dan Fogler's as the funny sidekick character. It's just so nice that the movie didn't suck because I'm the biggest Potterhead and it feels good to have a new movie in the series.
