Why I Picked ItUm...It's a continuation of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter by JK Rowling. Need I say more? SummaryNewt Scamander is tasked by his former professor, Albus Dumbledore to find and stop Grindelwald. Having to avoid the Ministry of Magic because of a travel ban, Scamander goes on a mission to complete Dumbledores wishes. Grindelwald is gathering followers who agree with him that pureblood wizards and witches must be the superior race on earth and should be in complete control. As he does that, he is also searching for a child who is seeking to learn where he is from and what family he belongs to. This is a story of confused lovers, unknown histories, and new creatures. What I LikedI loved that I could visualize everything, even though I haven't seen the movie yet (I know, I'm being a bad fangirl). There were descriptions where necessary, and the book included a screenplay dictionary at the back in case I didn't know what some of the abbreviations and words meant (though I didn't feel the need to use it. Most was pretty obvious or I already knew it). I also still love Newt Scamander. The character that Rowling created with Newt is amazing. He is so dynamic, and I can't wait for more about him. He's crazy and off the walls and intriguing, but he also is just so real and relatable. He doesn't really care what people think about him, and he does what he feels is right. And he's great with all magical creatures ever, which is both amazing and so dang cool. What I didn't LIkeIt was too short! It's a screenplay, so of course the book only took me about 2 hours to read since that's probably about the time that it shows on screen as well. As much as it was great for me to read a new type of book through reading a screenplay, I wish there was more! I want this to be an actual book now with more detail and more action, just because I WANT MORE. Overall Impression 🌟🌟🌟🌟I give it 4 stars. It was great, truly. Not the best I've read (and mostly because it's not actually a novel). But Rowling did a great job once again, and I loved every short minute of reading that I did!
