J.K. Rowling invites you to explore a new era of the Wizarding World . . .

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.

It is a great prequel to Harry Potter as it draws you to a different wizard and let’s you feel the history of the wizarding world.

I loved this book as it is a continuation of my favourite series of books - Harry Potter. My Favourite character was Newt Scamander, because he was kind and caring and looked after so many, cool, magical animals. I really liked reading this as a play as it made me become the character and feel like i was part of the play. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who likes the Harry Potter series of books

because I liked the Crimes of Grindlewald so much, i bought the first screenplay in the series. i have already watched the films so it doesn't really matter that i have done it this way round. The book is about Newt Scamander and Jacob (an American muggle) trying to find all of the beasts that have escaped from Newt's magical suitcase.

I have already read the book Fantastic Beasts and the Screenplay was absolutely amazing! A really good read for anyone who likes Harry Potter and play scripts- and Newt Scamander

I liked Tina the best because she was really stubborn at times which made her really funny. I would recommend this to someone else because once you pick it up you don’t want to put it down.

I loved this book so much I didn't read it once, I read it twice! I would really recommend this book if you are in a bookshop because it includes more magic, more creatures and it strangely includes a muggle knowing about magic which is totally unexpecting and that is what is a key ingredient in the story
