Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (it's a movie)

[Homerboy]

Maybe my searching sucks, but couldn't find a thread on this. If there is one, I apologize.


Anyone going to see this? have my tickets for tomorrow's first showing. It's become a tradition with my son and I to see all the HP (and related) movies on opening day. Looking forward to it.

Thankfully, reviews so far are positive.

Misleading thread title. I wanted to know where to find magical beasts!

Instead, I have to deduce from context that this appears to be referring to a Harry Potter movie?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Have fun at the .. movie?

Updated thread title for those that apparently live in a hole

ExCUSE me, I didn't pay all this money for this nice rock I live under so I could be referred to as a filthy hole-dweller!

Beasts, plural?

Beasts, plural?

One magical beast in my pants, but not the only magical beast in existence. There's bound to be a real unicorn or pegasus somewhere else.

Read that as magical breasts at first. Disappointed.

I don't want your face to melt. Some things are too wondrous to be seen by mere mortals.

While I have seen the title mentioned several times before my mind still decided to add an r to the second word

(And if that's not yet an existing movie title I'm sure it won't take long before it is)

Top notch porn title potential.

I'm not into HP stuff much, but the series was fun to watch for the most part. The new movie looks good but something really bugs me about Colin Farrell being in this movie. He seems out of place in the trailers, and I just don't understand the casting choice. I don't know the character he's playing either, so I'm judging based solely on his appearance in a trailer (which isn't much).

Yeah I'm not to sold (yet) on him being in this new series, but we don't know any of the characters and really don't even know the plot line (there's lots of speculation and vagueness, but unlike the previous installments, we don't have books to give us the full story. It will be interesting to see how the reverse process works for the HP franchise this time -- movies before books instead of the other way around.

There was a book, it was released in 2001:

I also just noticed you have the title wrong. It's FANTASTIC Beasts, not magical

The book is a few dozen pages long and is a simple "text book" of magical beasts - there is no story.
HA! didn't even notice the mistake in the thread topic

Edit: Edited the thread title. D'oh!

Other than this movie looking absolutely terrible from the trailers, the CGI in it looks even worse.
