Brave movie time period6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Though this isn’t Harry Potter, it’s an expansion of the universe and the start of something new. The Harry Potter universe is incredibly popular and iconic. There was a great weight of expectation for this project. But Credence might be hiding a secret of his own. Meanwhile Graves is involved in a plot to find a dangerous magician, using Mary Lou’s adopted son, Credence (Ezra Miller), as a spy. Hoping to prevent an incident, Tina instead teams with Newt, Jacob and her sister, Queenie (Alison Sudol), to re-capture all of Newt’s magical creatures before it’s too late. She brings Newt in to answer some questions, but her concerns are dismissed by the President, Seraphina Picquery (Carmen Ejogo), and her top investigator, Percival Graves (Colin Farrell). The whole incident draws the attention of Tina (Katherine Waterston), an employee of the American Magical Congress. Soon, Jacob gets pulled into Newt’s world when one of his magical creatures escapes. Newt is on a mission when he meets a non-magical resident, Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), who is trying to get a loan to start a bakery. An activist named Mary Lou Barebone (Samantha Morton) is railing against the magical threat, meanwhile strange events are happening throughout the city that threaten to expose everything. It’s a tense time in New York, as the American magical authorities struggle to keep the world from finding out about the magical realm. The film kicks off as Newt (Eddie Redmayne) arrives in New York with a magical case full of creatures. It follows the adventures of Newt Scamander as he collects the knowledge to write the textbook that serves as course material for Harry Potter and his classmates. This time the action moves from a wizarding academy in England to the magical congress in New York City in the 1920s. Based on the original screenplay from Rowling and directed by “Potter” veteran David Yates, the film introduces a new group of characters, a new setting and kicks off a new set of adventures. “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” isn’t Harry Potter, but it’s definitely an entry point into the world that has created millions of fans around the world. So it makes sense that it would make its way back to theaters in some way. In the five years since that time, interest in the wizarding world created by J.K. –After eight films and a decade at the box office, the “Harry Potter” franchise drew to a close.
