Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #10

Synopsis: Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It is the middle of the 20s and times are troubled since the already fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people that the MACUSA Congress struggles to maintain, is at risk of being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At the same time, by a twist of fate, Newt's precious suitcase will be switched with the identical one of an aspiring No-Maj baker, Jacob Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard.

creatures on the side.

He wouldnt happen to have an

interest in paw prints, would he?

Hes interested in anything he can sell.

How do I get a drink in this joint?

What? Aint you ever

seen a house-elf before?

No, no, of course I have.

I love house-elves.

My uncles a house-elf.

Yeah...

Six shots of gigglewater

and a lobe blaster, please.

Are all No-Majs like you?

No, Im the only one like me.

Ive arrested half of the people in here.

You can tell me to mind my own

business, but I saw something

in that death potion back there.

I saw you hugging

that Second Salem boy.

His names Credence.

His mother beats him.

She beats all those kids she adopted,

but she seems to hate him the most.

And she was the No-Maj you attacked?

Thats how I lost my job.

I went for her in front of a

meeting of her crazy followers.

They all had to be obliviated.

It was a big scandal.

Its him.

So...

Youre the guy with the

case full of monsters, huh?

News travels fast.

I was hoping youd be able to tell

me if there have been any sightings.

Tracks. That sort of thing.

Youve got a big price on

your head, Mr. Scamander.

Why should I help you

instead of turnin you in?

I take it Ill have to

make it worth your while?

Lets consider it a cover charge.

MACUSAs offerin moren that.

Lunascope?

I got five.

Frozen Ashwinder egg!

-You see, now were...

Wait a minute.

That's Bow...

Thats a Bowtruckle, right?

No. -Come on.

They pick locks, am I right?

Youre not having him.

-Well,

good luck gettin back alive,

Mr. Scamander, what with the

whole of MACUSA on your back.

All right.

Pickett...

Somethin invisibles been

wreakin havoc around Fifth Avenue.

You may wanna check out

Macys department store.

Might help with what youre looking

for. -Dougal... One last thing.

Theres a Mr. Graves

who works at MACUSA.

I was wondering what you

knew of his background.

You ask a lot of

questions, Mr. Scamander.

That can get you killed.

MACUSA are coming!

-You tipped them off!

Sorry, Mr. Gnarlak...

Reminds me of my foreman!

What are you doin, Credence?

Whered you get this?

-Give it back, Credence. Its just a toy!

What is this?

Take it off!

Ma...

-I am not your Ma!

Your mother was a

wicked, unnatural woman!

It was mine.

-Modesty...

What is this?

So Demiguises are

fundamentally peaceful,

but they can give a

nasty nip if provoked.

You two, head that way.

And try very hard not to be predictable.

Was that the Demiguise?

No, I think it might be the

reason that the Demiguise is here.

Its sight operates on probability,

so it can foresee the most

likely immediate future.

So whats it doing?

-Its babysitting.

What did you just say?

-This is my fault.
