In a year that has seen the world transform in ways that only Lord Voldemort himself could have imagined, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is the triumphant return to J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world that we so desperately needed.
From our first glimpse of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as he arrives in 1920’s New York, it’s like putting on one of Mrs Weasley’s cosy jumpers again – with Redmayne displaying bundles of charm as the magizoologist who owns a briefcase filled with the titular beasts.
