Please welcome, or be afraid, (we can decide later) the new magical beasts in the Harry Potter universe.
A new trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was offered to fans at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
The magical universe of Harry Potter is returning to the screen with a trilogy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by JK Rowling. Eddie Redmayne is playing Newt Scamander a magizoologist who comes to New York of 1920's with a suitcase full of magical beasts. They somehow escape the confines of the case and a chase for them involving other wizards, a secret society, and humans or No-Majs begins.
We get the first look of four magical creatures in the trailer.
1. Billywig - According to Pottermore, Billywigs are small insects which are capable of stinging to protect themselves. The sting causes giddiness and levitation and when dried, can be used in several potions.
2. Occamys - With a face like an eagle, this creature has a serpent-like body. According to Pottermore, it hatches eggs of pure silver and is fiercely protective of them. This is why we see Dab Fogler's Jacob Kowalski look petrified after taking one of the eggs in the trailer.
3. Demiguise - This beast looks closer to the ape family and has the ability to turn invisible when under threat. Their hair is used to make the invisibility cloak we all remember from the Harry Potter series.
4. Thunderbirds - Pottermore describes these creatures as, "Flying beast that can sense danger, and create storms as it flies. Its tail feathers were used by Shikoba Wolfe to create powerful wands, particularly good for Transfiguration."
Directed by David Yates, who also brought us Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2, the movie is set to release on November 18, 2016. Katherine Waterston, Dab Fogler, Collin Farrell, Jenn Murray, Ezra Miller, Carmen Ejogo, and Jon Voight are also part of the cast.
