Fans are buzzing after the latest Fantastic Beasts and where to find them trailer was released yesterday on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres show’. Shortly afterward, the official twitter account for the movie also revealed a new poster.
The trailer gives us further insight into the plot of the film. In particular, magizoologist Newt Scamander’s unusual relationship with No-maj Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), and the recapturing of the escaped magical beasts.

The new poster depicts the four protagonists against a New York cityscape, presumably on the lookout for the escaped creatures.

Fantastic Beasts and where to find them is loosely based on a short book of the same title that J.K. Rowling wrote for Comic Relief in 2001 to accompany her record-breaking Harry Potter novels. Set in New York in 1926, this film promises to be a spectacular addition to Rowling’s magical universe.
Fantastic Beasts is set to open in cinemas on November 18th, less than two months away!
