Spoiler Free Review

This was my first time reading a screenplay, to be honest with you. And this made me want to read plays.

From the beginning and right until the last page there was not one thing I didn't like about this book. The characters, the relationships between them and the creatures.

Newt being in town gives the MACUSA, Magical Congress of the United States of America, a suspect on what's been disturbing New York as some of his creatures are missing. But the real reason behind it, the real "creature" behind it, and who that is revealed to be closer to the end, surprised me. I went throughout the entire book without having a single clue as to who it was.

When we're first introduced to Newt Scamander, I fell in love with him right away. He's not clumsy but rather all over the place. And that fact made him jump from being a two-dimensional character to a real person to me. Right after his arrival in New York, we get introduced to the wizarding world we grew up loving. And that grabbed me.

How Newt goes from being there just looking for a creature and stumbles upon an anti-wizards manifestation and then starts losing his owned creatures was most likely how Rowling chose to grab her readers.

I really enjoyed Queenie's ability to read minds and how she used it to get herself through some situations or to get to know people (though it can be seen a little bit as a manipulation). She became one of my favorite characters in this world. And also her love for her sister Tina and her curiosity-turned-love for Jacob, who's a Non-Maj, made her into a very likable character.

As for Tina, though she was a really strong woman, stubborn and willing to do anything to show her worth, I didn't like her as much. I wish we had seen more of her and got to know her better.

When it comes to Jacob I believe he was an incredible character and what happened to him at the end was, although necessary, unfair.

Ending with the creatures, every single one of them as incredibly well thought out and had phenomenal abilities (and exquisite personalities) which made them so hilarious and adorable.

I believe I'm still attached to this new take on our known wizarding world even though I've finished reading this book a few weeks back.
