Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling
4.0
I am not sure what kind of mood I was in when I watched the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie, because I pretty much hated it.
Because I still love all things Harry Potter, and I really enjoyed the "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" play so much, I decided I would give the written screenplay a chance to change my mind. Consider me converted! I enjoyed this book so much, I am willing to give the movie another chance.
The stylistic differences between a novel, a play, and a screen play are quite different. It didn't take me long to get into the play; however, the additional details of the screen play threw me off for half of the book (the only reason this read did not get 5 stars). By the end of the screenplay, I was left wanting more. Good thing the second movie will be released this November!
If you love the Potter-verse, then this read will not disappoint. If you haven't seen the movie yet, even better! Getting lost in magic is always delightful. Easy read. Highly recommend.
Happy Reading!
