Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #3

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.

hed have...

What?

Well, the first symptom

would be flames out of

his anus...

-This is balled up!

Itll last forty-eight hours at most!

I can keep him if you want me to.

Oh, keep him? We dont

keep them! Mr. Scamander,

do you know anything about the wizarding community

in America? -I do know a few things, actually.

I know you have rather backwards laws

about relations with non-magic people.

That youre not meant to befriend

them, that you cant marry them,

which seems mildly absurd to me.

-Whos going to marry him?

Youre both coming with me.

-I dont see why I need to come with you.

Help me!

-Im dreaming, right?

Please. -Yeah, Im tired,

I never went to the bank.

This is all just some big nightmare, right?

-For the both of us, Mr. Kowalski.

And so this is the newsroom.

Let's go.

Hey, how are you? Make

way for the Barebones!

Now, theyre just putting the

papers to bed, as they say.

Mr. Shaw, sir, hes with the senator.

Never mind that, Barker,

I wanna see my father!

Im so sorry, Mr. Shaw, but your son insisted.

-Father, youre going to want to hear this.

Ive got something huge!

Your brother and I are busy here,

Langdon. Working on his election campaign.

We dont have time for this.

This is Mary Lou Barebone from

the New Salem Preservation Society,

and shes got a big story for you!

-Oh, she has, has she?

Theres strange things

going on all over the city.

The people behind this,

they are not like you and me.

This is witchcraft, dont you see.

-Langdon. -She doesnt want any money.

Then either her story is worthless,

or shes lying about the cost.

Nobody gives away anything valuable

for free, Langdon. -You are right, Mr. Shaw.

What we desire is infinitely more

valuable than money: Its your influence.

Millions of people read your newspapers and

they need to be made aware about this danger.

The crazy disturbances in the

subway, just look at the pictures!

Id like you and your friends to leave.

-No, youre missing a trick here.

Just look at the evidence.

-Really. -Langdon.

Just listen to Father and go. And...

Take the freaks with you.

-This is Fathers office, not yours. -Okay.

And Im sick of this every time I

walk in here... -That's it. Thank you.

We hope youll reconsider, Mr. Shaw.

Were not difficult to find.

Until then, we thank you for your time.

Hey, boy.

You dropped something.

Here you go, freak. Why dont you put

that in the trash where you all belong.

Take a right here.

Okay, before we go in... Im not

supposed to have men on the premises.

In that case, Mr. Kowalski and I can easily

seek other accommodation. -Oh no, you dont!

Watch your step.

That you, Tina?

Yes, Mrs. Esposito!

-Are you alone?
