Do you want to live in Harry Potter’s world? A new film about the magical world is coming to China on Nov 25. Its name is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
    It tells a story 70 years before Harry’s school life in Hogwarts. Newt Scamander is a magizoologist (神奇生物学家). He travels around and looks for magical animals. He writes about many such animals in a book, and he also draws pictures in it. The book later becomes one of the textbooks (教材) for Harry Potter and his friends.
    This film is about Newt’s trip to New York in 1926. He takes a lot of magical animals with him. Sadly, some of them run away and get him into trouble.
    The film’s writer is J.K. Rowling. She also wrote the Harry Potter books. She says this story is darker (黑暗的) than before. But it helps you learn more about the magical world.
     In Harry Potter stories, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a textbook for first-year Hogwarts students. Students must read it to work for exams. There are dragons, spiders, phoenix (凤凰) and other fantastic animals.
Later, J.K. Rowling wrote a book about the textbook and his author Newt Scamander. So in 2001, the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came out. It tells the story of magizoologist Newt Scamander.
