Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay
by J.K. Rowling
I’ve never read the screenplay of a movie I’ve seen before—it was very much like
re-watching the movie in my head, only with some delightful additions I couldn’t have gotten from the film. I wouldn’t have known quite all of the animals’ names, for example, and definitely could not tell from the movie that Queenie reads Jacob’s mind at one point and sees the devastation he witnessed in the war. That was super-powerful. The screenplay also makes clear how much the movie’s acting complements and enhances what’s on the page. Really lovely screenplay, but even lovelier as depicted onscreen.
