Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them - The Original Screenplay

 “Fantastic Beasts is very much in the spirit of the Potter books … as with all of Jo [Rowling]’s work, it’s not soft. There is material in all of the books that has a truth about life. Here, there’s darkness within. But there are also these creatures, and an awful lot of humour and heart – which I think will appeal to young and old alike.”

- David Heyman, Producer of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

For fans of Harry Potter, a new magical realm is about to be unveiled.

When Magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York, he intends his stay to be just a brief stopover. However, when his magical case is misplaced and some of Newt's fantastic beasts escape, it spells trouble for everyone...

Inspired by the original Hogwart's textbook by Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them: The Original Screenplay marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, author of the beloved and internationally bestselling Harry Potter books. A feat of imagination and featuring a cast of remarkable characters and magical creatures, this is epic adventure-packed storytelling at its very best. Whether an existing fan or new to the wizarding world, this is a perfect addition for any film lover or reader's bookshelf.

The film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them will have its theatrical release on 18th November 2016.

Rowling has already given a sneak peek into the new home of magic she is about to uncover with four original stories on the Pottermore website, collected together in a series intriguingly entitled: ‘History of Magic in North America’. Here Rowling explodes what we know about the legacy of the United States from the Founding Fathers to the Roaring Twenties and creates an entirely new canon, a past steeped in magic, cloaked in suspicion. Rowling’s account takes readers from the earliest Fourteenth-Century non-magic settlers, fearful in the face of Native American magicians, to the enactment of Rappaport’s Law – a law segregating Muggles from the magical community.

Speed forward to 1920’s New York and we have the backdrop for Rowling’s full-length screenplay for a breath-taking new film; a dazzling world of smoke-filled jazz clubs, swing dance, champagne, glamour and bright-lights. Into this golden new world comes Newt Scamander, a British wizard expelled from Hogwarts, Newt is in exile, alone with a suitcase that holds a secret.

For Newt carries a precious cargo of magical creatures. Or at least he did… Some of the creatures have escaped and this puts him in terrible, mortal danger. The wizarding world of New York is not like the one he knows. The New Salem Philanthropic Society, a fanatical No-Maj (Muggle) extremist organisation, is determined to wipe out wizarding kind. Newt finds himself on the run and he must find the lost creatures before the authorities catch up with him and before the latent tensions between magical people and those who live in fear of it, escalates into full-scale war.

The design duo behind the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima - aka MinaLima - have lent their creative flair to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay and The Case of Beasts: Explore the Film Wizardry of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Now Waterstones invites you to look back in time, to uncover the magic of the past and be spellbound by J.K. Rowling’s extraordinary world all over again.

Before Harry Potter, there was another. Before Harry Potter there was Newt Scamander…
