Fans of theHarry Potterfranchise have been waiting for quite some time to return to the wizarding world created byJ. K. Rowling. Luckily for them, the wait is almost over, because the very firstHarry Potter spinoff movie,Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themis coming out in just under a month. In case you weren’t excited enough already, Warner Bros. has released a bunch of high-res images fromFantastic Beasts.
Warner Bros.recently dropped the photos online, which give us crystal clear looks at almost everything we have seen in the trailers forFantastic Beastsso far. Not surprisingly, these photos heavily teaseEddie RedmayneasNewt Scamander, who is the central character in the movie. Not to mention that the studio is likely going to want to put a lot of focus on the Oscar winner, who fans have responded to quite positively already without having even seen the movie yet.
Many of the other central characters are featured in these new pictures, but it is the photos of theFantastic Beaststhemselves that steal the show. In the trailers that have been released, many of the beasts are only shown in brief glimpses that make them difficult to really get a good look at. These new high res stills allow fans to truly get a great look at some of the new creatures from theHarry Potter universe.
Warner Bros. seems to have a ton of confidence in this movie. A couple of months ago, Warner Bros. officially announced thatFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2would be coming out in November of 2018.David Yates, who directed the last fourHarry Pottermovies as well asFantastic Beast and Where to Find Themwill be returning to direct the sequel. Initially, it was thought that the series would be a trilogy, but it seems thatJ. K. Rowlingwas able to come up with a bit more of a sprawling and ambitious story, because it was recently announced thatFantastic Beastsis intended to be a total offive movies.
