5.0

After seven amazing books, eight movies, and a relatively enjoyable play on the "eighth HP book" (I don't consider it as an eighth HP book tbh; it so definitely isn't) about the Wizarding World, do I still have any room in my heart for five more? You bet your ass I do!

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them was a very good movie, even better than some of the HP movie adaptations. It gives all those who have loved HP an American perspective on the country's magical system. They have thr MACUSA, the No-Majs, the eerie execution room (instead of scary-ass dementors sucking out your soul), a mention of Ilvermorny, and more. It's fascinating getting to know these new terms and Newt's creatures as well.

I'm also glad for this screenplay because when I watched the movie, I had trouble understanding much of the dialogue (Newt's most especially because he mumble-talked a lot. I understand that that's his character and I love him to bits; I just have hearing problems, is all). Reading the screenplay helped me understand much of the dialogue that I didn't catch while watching and re-watching the movie.

So yeah, I can't wait for the next one!
