Eddie Redmayne Is A Friggin’ Wizard In The New ‘Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them’ Trailer
ACCIO FEELINGS.
Harry Potter is the franchise that just won’t go away, whether it’s the new “eighth Harry Potter story” The Cursed Child or JK Rowling taking every conceivable opportunity to remind people that she wrote some very popular books, no matter how weird and tenuous the connection to whatever’s being talked about. Life tip: if you ever feel the urge to compare the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to a set of kids’ books that you wrote once, don’t.
How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH

But not every reminder of the Potterverse need be weird and tone-deaf! Warner Bros. have just dropped the first teaser for the upcoming Eddie Redmayne vehicle Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which reveals the bare-bones plot of the film and features Redmayne being aggressively British at everyone. While it can’t possibly surpass the kickass special-release Beasts book that came out a few years ago alongside Quidditch Through The Ages, it still looks kinda cool.
There’s almost a year until this thing comes out in November 2016, but 11 months isn’t too early to crank up the Hollywood hype-machine.
