Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them(tt3183660) Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne plays the role of the eccentric magizoologist, Newt Scamander, who arrives in New York with his trusty worn-out suitcase for reasons we can't disclose. However, this seemingly ordinary suitcase is actually a magical object that is much, much larger on the inside. It serves as a home for rare and endangered magical creatures that Newt has collected during his travels around the world. During his adventures, Newt becomes aware of the fear and secrecy that the American wizarding community (referred to as No-Maj in America) lives in, hiding from Muggles. He soon realizes that the danger of exposure for wizards in America is even greater than in England (remember the Salem witch trials). Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tells the story of the fearless British wizard's journey to fear-ridden America, where he must face the consequences when some of his dangerous creatures escape from his suitcase.
