I watched the movie before reading the screenplay, and adored both of them so dearly. As I read through the screenplay, I could vividly picture each scene from the movie, stark clear. Reading it was like seeing the movie all over again! There is great attention to the screenplay as there is so much detail of each scene alongside the chapter designs, which are absolutely gorgeous to look at. The screenplay doesn’t add much new stuff to the movie, however it does give a few little details and confirmations that one may not have picked up in the movie.
The screenplay follows young British, Newt Scamander, on his travels in New York City during the roaring 1920’s where he is an advocate for the care and protection for magical creatures as a Magizoologist. Alongside him he travels with a case that contains far more than just a toothbrush and pyjamas, but rather contains a few magical, fantastic beasts. However when his magical case becomes misplaces, it is the start of Sacamander’s continual string of problems through the city. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg of what’s troubling the city…
The world building and characters are absolutely amazing and I cannot help but love Newt Scamander’s quirky, awkward and quiet personality where he never really quite looks at people in the eye and tilts his head to the side with his little awkward side steps. Though he is shy, when he conversely enters inside his case with his creatures, his whole demeanour changes as he is in his own element. Some of his purest moments were when he completed a mating dance with his erumpent (which I couldn’t help but squeal due to his adorableness in that moment) which was so honest and pure as he was not ashamed of anything at all as he only cared about the wellbeing of his erumpent girl as he wished to get her back safety in his trunk where humans could not harm her. Despite not being an actual hero, Newt Scamander is as hero worthy has his older brother, as he is only worried about the wellbeing of his creatures and friends due to his big and caring heart.
Each and every character was amazing and unique in their own ways with Jacob being an easy going and loveable barrel of laughs and Queenie was the suitably a queen (just as her name suggests) with her cute giggling nature that is so caring and girly-girl like, whilst her sister Tina was also just as wonderful with her worrying nature as the responsible one.

***I received a copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review***
Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.
