First Thoughts- Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

Blogmas Day 16

 Yesterday marked a very important day for Harry Potter fans all over the world. Yesterday we got our first glimpse at Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, I for one could not be more excited. 
So, if you've been living under a rock and have yet to see the trailer, watch it here. Come back once you've seen it!
When I first heard about this film, I thought it was a rumour... After finding out it was real, it didn't quite sink in. Only now has it dawned on me that it is actually happening, we are actually getting more of the Wizarding World. 
And it was a teaser trailer to remember, I never expected that we would get a teaser so early, let alone one which is 1 minute and 53 seconds long. Is it a good or bad thing that it dropped so early? Next November seems a lifetime away, but it will be worth the wait. 
In the first 30 seconds of the trailer we get serious throwbacks to the Harry Potter films, I felt so nostalgic hearing 'Lumos Maxima' again, the whole atmosphere was so magical and special. We are then introduced to the case of creatures, the mystery that this trailer creates is making me die to see this film. All of these completely brand new characters and this brand new side of the world is something which I am so pumped for. I absolutely love Eddie Redmayne and am so ready to watch his portrayal of a wizard, it will be something completely new and different. The music in the trailer gives serious Harry Potter nostalgia, but along with the visuals and characters we have never come across in the Wizarding World before, so much excited tension is created. 
Trying to think of wizards in America is kind of mind boggling, its not something I've ever really thought about before hearing of this film. Sure, we've seen Bulgarian and French wizards, but as far as I can recall, we never went into that much detail on American wizardry. 
I find it so odd that we have no idea what will happen in this film. When going to see a new Harry Potter film, book fans would always go in knowing exactly what was going to happen in the film. Right now I feel a bit left out, but I know that this new experience of the films will be just as exciting. 
So now I am left with a million questions. What kind of character will Eddie Redmayne be? What will this brand new story be about? What other characters will we have? I'm completely filled with nervous excitement, all of this has left me desperate to re-read and re-watch all of the Harry Potter. I hope you all liked the trailer and are just as excited as I am for it, for now I am probably going to go and re-watch it a million times, I'll see you tomorrow for another day of Blogmas!
