Summary of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: by J.K. Rowling | Includes Key Takeaways & Analysis
TINA “Ma’am. Yesterday a wizard entered New York with a case. This case of magical creatures, and – unfortunately – some have escaped.”
“TINA leads NEWT past a hundred typewriters clacking away unmanned, with a tangle of glass pipes hanging down from the ceiling above them. As each memo or form is completed by a typewriter, it folds itself into an origami rat, which scurries up the appropriate tube to the offices above. Two rats collide and fight, tearing each other apart.”
MADAM PICQUERY (O.S.) “Whatever it is, one thing’s clear – it must be stopped. It’s terrorising No-Majs, and when No-Majs are afraid, they attack. This could mean exposure. It could mean war.”
“PAN AROUND to watch TINA come through the door with NEWT. As they enter, the whole entrance magically transforms from the Woolworth Building to the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA).”
*** Don't miss the first installment of the newest saga in the Harry Potter adventures! J.K. Rowling debuts her first screenplay with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Learn about the world of wizardry in America long before Harry and friends are ever born! ***
The movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them serves as a prequel to Harry Potter movies, but unlike the Harry Potter movies that portray innocent children learning about magical creatures, this movie is meant more for the adults. There’s no dearth of magical characters in this movie, and even non-wizards aka No-Majs are incredibly interesting, but what makes this movie impeccable is its comic timing.
Potterheads will perhaps enjoy Newt’s character the most since the gullible magizoologist tries his best to save his creatures from harm. The other characters including Tina, Queenie and Jacob play stellar roles, but several creatures, including the Niffler, are sure to make people watch the movie more than once! Needless to say, the struggle of good versus evil is highlighted well, and although a few scenes may be a tad violent for young fans, it’s certainly worth every penny.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a screenplay by J. K. Rowling, is a prequel to the Harry Potter movies. Unlike the Potter movies themselves, targeted primarily at a younger audience, Fantastic Beasts is for an adult audience.
The FastReads summary of Fantastic Beasts is a detailed review of the screenplay, with an almost scene-by-scene synopsis. While this might be considered a spoiler by many, it offers, in my view, just enough detail to make one want to see the full movie.
This is, as the publisher’s name implies, a quick read; giving an excellent overview of the work being summarized. It’s a great way to get a sense of new books without having to buy them first.
