To write the screenplay for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them_(film)" target="_blank">Fantastic Beasts</a> with the prospect of more to come must have been a real challenge but she has certainly pulled it off.

I found the first part of the film a little slow as it built the characters and the strands of the plots that were to entwine as the story unfolded. Eddie Redmayne is excellent as Newt Scamander - he plays the part as though he is not comfortable in company but is prepared to stand up for what is right.

The beasts are incredible and are the stars of the film but then it would have been disappointing if they hadn't been. It won't disappoint Harry Potter fans and I enjoyed it a lot.
