Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

Ever since finishing the Harry Potter books from The Sorcerer's Stone to The Deathly Hallows, author J.K. Rowling wanted to expand the world of Harry Potter even further  and that meant introducing Pottermores a spin-off based on a textbook every Hogwarts student read. Called Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, this spin-off prequel film takes fans to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl.

Fantastic Beasts
and Where To Find Them

Before explaining what the movie's all about, let's talk about this spin-off because following the success of the Harry Potter books, some spin-off books were published by J.K. Rowling for charity benefits. Quidditch Through the Ages and this one was published for the benefit of Comic Relief, the other one, called The Tales of Beedle the Bard for the benefit of Lumos. It's a long story but let's talk about the film, shall we? Okay, it's about Newt Scamander, a magizoologist taking a time off in New York until his magic case was misplaced and some of his "fantastic beasts" escaped, causing chaos through the streets of New York City. This is where the adventure begins seven decades before Harry Potter read this book.

For some ordinary folks or Muggles alike, Fantastic Beasts looks a bit basic for a fantasy film but it's good from start to finish. Although this film can be summed up to be sub-par for the ordinary viewers, it can be somewhat enjoyable to watch for those who are big fans of the Harry Potter franchise because Fantastic Beasts is set seven decades before the Harry Potter saga began so fans can truly understand where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl.

It's enjoyable if they see them being attacked by a Manticore but rest assured that even though this film is basic and good, Fantastic Beasts is a worthwhile contender of becoming one of the best films of the 2016 autumn season and who to blame them? It's the fans to blame for its wishful thinking to give Pottermores a little more time to stay in the world of Harry Potter.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

"IT ALL ENDS HERE"

The Harry Potter series became the most trending among young people and it revolves on the life of a young boy named Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, who attends to Hogwarts, venture through the secrets behind Hogwarts with the little help of his best buddies Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and defeat You-Know-How (Lord Voldemort) who was responsible for his parents' murder. Back in Deathly Hallows Part One; Harry, Ron, and Hermione ventured across the magic world in search and destroy the Horcruxes that became the keys to the Dark Lord's longevity. Most memorable in Part One is the death of Dobby.

In his final battle, a hero must stand alone. Harry Potter and the gang are now here on the final part of the final chapter of the Harry Potter saga that has the most cinematic storyline that keep Harry Potter fans hooked until the very end. What made it interesting is the stunning computer graphics, Neville's sense of humor, devastating truth behind Severus Snape, and the final battle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort as Hogwarts did everything they can to take down Lord Voldemort's army. We almost got hooked all the way to the epilogue (19 years later) of the movie.

Now that everyone watched Part Two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the fans bid farewell to the heroes of the Harry Potter saga. We can't help it but we will miss the whole saga that sparked a sensation among fans from across the world.

To all of them who watched it, we say thank you for supporting the Harry Potter saga 'till the very end.

As we all know, Deathly Hallows is the final chapter of the fan favorite Harry Potter series. Since this final chapter loads a lot of pages, Warner Bros. decided to split the movie adaptation into two parts. Part One was now showing in theaters and Part Two coming this Summer 2011. But first, let's explain how Part One looks like...

As Lord Voldemort gains power and took control of the Ministry of Magic, he's much more unstoppable. But only Harry, Ron, and Hermione can stop him. As the trio of best friends forced to drop out from Hogwarts, they must find the Horcruxes to stop Voldemort before the Dark Lord commence total world domination.

Part One packs a lot of magic and suspense, and also a loss of someone special as someone know it. Anyone noticed it what exactly happened at Part One?

This first half of the finale packs more visual effects most kids of all ages, especially HP nerds and newbies alike, surely love, and also the elements beyond good and evil is all part of this story.

After watching Part One, think you're ready to savor the last eight months of Harry-ism?! Good luck!
