Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It’s the 1920s and times are troubled; the fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people is at risk of being unsettled. Voices against wizardry grow daily led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard named Gellert Grindelwald.
