Synopsis

Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful, dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards and witches. They soon encounter an array of old and new beasts as they clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers.

At times I found it hard to stay awake. There were some good moments, but at the beginning the movie moved slow. I would definitely watch a second time, but from the comfort of my home. I thought the casting was solid, but the storyline  could’ve been tightened up a little bit. I don’t want to spoil for you. All in all I enjoyed it.

I loved seeing Lally characters come to life played by Eulalie Hicks, who is the Charms professor at Ilvermorny, the North American School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and a friend of Albus Dumbledore. A brilliant witch, Lally is also brave, resourceful and has no trouble speaking her mind. She is a great admirer of Newt Scamander’s work and has corresponded with him since the publication of his book, though this is the first time they’ve met. She also finds Jacob delightful and enjoys their alliance as they team with Newt, Theseus and the others on their mission from Dumbledore.
