Fantastic Beasts

I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them over the holiday weekend, and enjoyed it very much. This is a prequel to the Harry Potter films, and portrays the wizarding world in America (New York City to be exact) as being just as richly vibrant and fun as the HP movies did.

But one thing that I really liked about Fantastic Beasts was how much more darker it was--maybe because it had an adult cast, I'm not sure, but it was a welcome touch. The cast were all superb; it was a real ensemble effort, and the visual effects were also a delight. I'm looking forward to seeing this again.
