A lot of hard, No-Maj work went into making the magical world of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." J.K. Rowling's universe was transported to 1926 New York, and the filmmakers had to make period-accurate sets and make sure even the smallest of details was consistent with the rest of the "Harry Potter" franchise .

J.K. Rowling, embarking on her new, post-Potter blockbuster franchise with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," has said herself that her screenplay, which she began several years ago, was informed by world events - particularly, she noted, a rise in populism around the globe. And so there's definitely some darkness in "Fantastic Beasts," despite its being a family film, complete with the sweetest little beasts imaginable - expect to see your kid melt forthwith over the lovable jewelry-imbibing Niffler But there's also a refreshingly light tone competing with the sinister themes, thanks especially to two exceedingly appealing supporting characters headed for a sweet confection of a romance.
She did it with the Harry Potter series, but the movies based on the bestselling book series could never quite soar on their own.
And so the Wizarding World lives again. This weekend, with the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , a brand new franchise is born that also enriches and reinvigorates the iconic Harry Potter series.
