Another brilliant story from JK Rowling. Even though it's a screenplay there is still plenty of description in it for you to be able to use your imagination to tell the story.

I still recommend to watch the film before reading this though, as it certainly helps when reading through the scenes.

What I find most helpful with this book is that you can pick up on minor details on the narrative and descriptive parts that you may not have picked up on otherwise watching the film.

Definitely a must for Potter fans!

A screenplay is not as smooth as a novel, but I love the Harry Potter World and specially I love Newt Scamander🫶
This is my favourite of the trilogy 👌simple, it's a fast read, them getting to know each other is cute, and the beasts...🥹
I would still like to have a novel of these stories :)

Amazing version of the screenplay. Loved it as it was the same as the movie so we could remind that again.

In my personal opinion, I can see bits and pieces of autism in Newt. As someone who has high functioning autism and loves reading the Harry Potter series, to see representation in a way that I can relate to is just so nice. I just hope one day Newt and Hagrid get to meet lol

My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.

It was hard for me to get used to it, but when I finally managed to get used to it, I couldn't stop even though I had already seen the film - which is one of my favorites.
