Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #2

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.

Get out.

-Yes, maam.

I made a postal application weeks ago.

Scamander... And you were

just in Equatorial Guinea?

Ive just completed a year in the field.

Im writing a book about magical creatures.

-Like... an extermination guide?

No. A guide to help people understand why

we should be protecting these creatures

instead of killing them.

Er... moth, I think. Big moth.

Hey, quiet down. Im trying to get a statement.

There aint no smell of gas.

-It wasnt gas, Officer, I seen it!

Mr. Scamander.

-Then look for it! Look!

His necks bleeding, hes hurt!

Wake up, Mr. No-Maj.

You!

-Hello.

-Kowalski... Jacob.

You cant obliviate him!

We need him as a witness.

Im sorry, youve just yelled at me the length

of New York for not doing it in the first place.

Hes hurt! He looks ill!

-Hell be fine. Murtlap bites arent serious.

I admit that is a slightly more

severe reaction than Ive seen,

but if it was really serious,
