Fantastic Beasts

First, let me say that I LOVE the cover soo much, the illustrations inside too! I didn't know this was an s screenplay, I thought it was just a book. But, boy I loved it! It was soo cool, Newt was an interesting character. I really liked that we see the wizarding world as other than. just England and Hogwarts. Seeing how it works in the US was very interesting. It was too short, but of course, as it's a movie... I will watch the movie for sure. It interesting bunch of characters... Recommend to all HP wizarding world fans. Also, let me just brag that we Ravenclaws won the Quiz Championship, lol.

It took me such a long time to get to this play simply because I didn't want a cursed child 2.0 experience. But in the end, I'm so glad that I gave fantastic beasts a shot because it was simply amazing. If you are hesitant to pick it up because you are still traumatized by the disaster known as cursed child, don't be because trust me you will love it with all your heart.

Reasons as to why I loved this play so much:

- The characters were all wonderful in their own special way. I must admit though, I wasn't fond of Queenie at first but then she grew on me in the end. I loved how they incorporated a no-maj (I mean muggle) in the whole mess because his reactions to magic was very entertaining to read.

- The fact that it was set in New York City and we got a glimpse of how the American wizards are in comparison to the beloved British wizards that we all know was so awesome to read. I genuinely thought every Wizard used the same terminology, but apparently they don't. It was so weird reading no-maj instead of muggle, and it got me curious on how other wizards from other parts of the world call non magic folks. It was also interesting to read the different rules (ex: american wizards can't marry muggles), granted that the setting was during the 1920s so not sure if the laws are still the same.

- I loved how we got introduced to new magic spells (or at least the once mentioned I've never heard of before), learned about obscurus which I found pretty interesting and got an insight of how MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) is like.

- I knew about a little less than halfway throughout the play that Credence was the cause of the obscurus, however I did not see the whole Graves really being Grindelwald because of polyjuice potion plot twist. I didn't notice him drinking or carrying around any polyjuice potion, maybe I missed it, so when that was revealed I was so taken aback. But I did not like Graves and found him a slime ball, so him being Grindelwald did make sense.

- The plot was super fast paced and extremely entertaining. I loved Newt as a main character and loved learning bits and pieces about his magical creatures.

- I wish the ending carried out a little bit longer because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the characters. There was so much I wanted to learn about them. I wanted to know more about Queenie and Tina's life, about the whole relationship between Newt and Leta Lestrange (I had to read on Wikia to know what happened between them and why Newt got kicked out of Hogwarts). But hopefully we will see them again in the future.

All in all this play was a very quick, very fun and it got me out of my book slump. I can't wait until I watch the movie and see how the story plays out on screen. I'm hoping it will be just as good as the play.

El guión escrito de la película con el mismo nombre. Es simplemente eso, aunque la película si me gusto, no entendí el porque de publicar el guión :/, pero bonita portada.

Hablando de la historia, me interesó bastante, como que se puede diferenciar los magos de Inglaterra de los de Estados Unidos como puede ser el detalle de que en Estados Unidos los magos les digan “No majs” a los sin magia y que no se puedan casar con ellos, mientras que en Inglaterra se les llamen “Muggles” y no tengan esta prohibición, y también la introducción de un personaje distinto a la visión típica de “héroe valiente que salvará a todos” que teníamos de Harry Potter.

Bloody hell.. this is such an amazing book, even though it's the script from the movie. It feels like getting closer to Newt than you do in the movies.
Since it's J.K. Rowling's first script she has written herself, it is very well done. It's descreptive and even if it's those 70 years before Harry Potter, you still get the feeling of being inside the universe.
