If you loved "Newt" Scamander, his unique case, and the magical world J.K. Rowling created in the first fantastic beasts and where to find them movie, this book will be a great companion.
Each character, their background, their specialities, and their friends are all analyzed uniquely. A special section is obviously given for the beasts, Bowtruckle, Erumpent, Niffler, Billywig, Occamy, Demiguise, Doxy, and Murtlap. The Big Apple, wizarding wands, and spells are also given special attention.

I loved this.
It tells a brief background about every character from the movie.
It's also about the events of the movie so I don't recommend reading it before watching the movie.
I loved that it contained illustrations for magical creatures included in the movie
It explained many of the vague events and characters.
It tells many unnecessary details which was a but annoying

Such a cute reading!!! It contained a couple of new facts about the movie that I really loved!

Another interesting movie handbook by the same narrator, Michael Kogge.
If his other book Character Guide focus more on every character's detail, this book intent to focus more on another things such as the locations, the spells, the artifacts, and of course the main character and the magical creatures themselves.
A must have for all J. K. Rowling wizarding worlds fans out there.

Like the Character Guide, it's nice to have/read but not necessary. However basing from the character section alone, I found the Movie Guide's entry more informative?
Anyway, the art and movie stills are stunning :>

I love books like this that are stuffed full of fun tidbits.

It's a great guide to the film when you are not looking for all the information of the Wizarding World on Pottermore, all the time, 24/7. Pretty Images and pretty fun too.

It has lots of pictures and designs, plus some fun facts. I can't ask for much more. I especially like the tidbits that were left out of the movie.

Liked to see all the information in the movie. Wish there was more information though. Still need to see the movie.
Can't wait to read more Harry Potter stuff!!!!

This was a strange little book… not in the sense that it was filled with strange and fantastical beasts (even though it technically was), but in that its format didn’t quite make sense and it felt a bit haphazard overall. Built in the same way as the classic guidebooks of the 1990s (think Pokémon’s classic Pokédex book that every fan had to have in their collection), the creators of this book were clearly aiming for a sense of practical nostalgia as a way to sell another book to Harry Potter fans, who are known to collect practically everything. Yes, I bought the book for my collection, but I thrifted it for under $2, so I didn’t completely fall into their marketing trap! Laid out with a sense of practical organization, readers are guided through the characters, creatures, and locations that bring the newest set of Harry Potter films to life, with a small section devoted at the end to classic wizarding world magic. On the surface this seems to be a smart way of narrating the book, but the presentation didn’t actually end up being particularly practical as the writing and imagery felt messy, the writing gave fans little new information (aside from a post-production disappearance of a fiancé for Jacob Kowalski), and the graphic design was uninspired. With a little more effort (and maybe the design flourish of dream team Minalima) this little book could have been a wonderful gem, but instead fell quite flat. Maybe someday WB and the Rowling estate will learn that quality is more important than quantity, but apparently we’re all still buying everything they put out, so I doubt they’ll learn their lesson anytime soon…

"Fantastyczne zwierzęta i jak je znaleźć: Magiczny przewodnik po filmie" to cieniutka książeczka w miękkiej okładce, która powinna spodobać się każdemu, kto chce dowiedzieć się trochę więcej o bohaterach i okolicznościach najnowszego filmu ze świata Harry'ego Pottera.
"Magiczny przewodnik" ma niecałe sto stron i jest pełny zdjęć z samego filmu, jak również tych promocyjnych. Przeczytanie jej zajmie nie więcej niż pół godziny! Za to wprowadza czytelnika w nowy świat, opisując miejsca, bohaterów oraz niektóre zdarzenia z filmów.
Wiele tych informacji będzie już znana czytelnikowi nie tylko z filmu, ale i książek o Harrym Potterze, ale znalazło się tutaj parę ciekawostek, których możliwe, że nie udało się wyłapać z filmu "Fantastyczne zwierzęta i jak je znaleźć", nie zwróciło na nie uwagi lub były pokazane tylko w domyśle.
Książeczka kosztuje 19 zł i oczywiście zabrać się za nią powinno dopiero PO obejrzeniu filmu, ponieważ w innym przypadku będzie praktycznie jednym wielkim spoilerem!
W sumie jedyne co może razić to nie wyjustowany tekst, co mi rzucało się w oczy dość mocno, troszkę dziecinny język oraz dwie, czy trzy strony, na których znalazły się wykresy o magicznych zwierzętach, które nie zostały przetłumaczone na polski. Ta część przewodnika jest niestety dość uboga, ale teraz tylko czekać na pięknie ilustrowane nowe wydanie podręcznika "Fantastycznych zwierząt i jak je znaleźć"!

The book is, in my less than humble opinion, subpar.
Being a movie handbook, it is kind of infuriating to read when it is hard to get the grasp on whatever the the protagonist was doing for a living. There are so little information regarding Newt and his endeavors with MACUSA. I was expecting more explanation into the magical briefcase and the beasts. Instead, the book filled me with infatuated dreams of epic, magical, meaningless odyssey.
It was a very short read, not even enough information than the movie brochure, finished in less than an hour.
I would suggest to use the book money to buy the DVD instead.

V knihe sa mi páčili hlavne obrázky, ktorých výber splnil moje očakávania, avšak textu bolo na môj vkus naozaj málo. Aj keď si uvedomujem, že kniha má byť len sprievodcom k filmu a najdôležitejšie informácie by už mal čitateľ poznať, možno som čakala trochu viac zaujímavostí alebo detailov z natáčania, ktoré nám, žiaľ, kniha neprinesie. Príručka určite pomôže všetkým, ktorí si chcú ujasniť vzťahy medzi postavami, prostredie či podrobne dej príbehu. Jej prečítanie zaberie naozaj maximálne hodinku. Určite sa každému Potterheadovi bude hodiť do zbierky ako aj mne, avšak knihu určite nepovažujem za nutnosť.

« Regorge de photos » c’est peu dire ! Ce petit guide est parfait pour entrer dans le bain du film.
Il reprend la base en décrivant les personnages, leur fonction, les différents lieux et les quelques objets utilisés comme les baguettes ou la fabuleuse valise de Norbert. Bref, sublime élément de découverte.
Ce qu’il faut voir ici, ceux sont les divers portraits mis en avant, de part les explications et les photos, qui soit dit en passant, sont au top !
Il n’y a pas grand chose à dire à part que c’est un chouette guide photo !

A very basic book but its a nice summary of the characters/events/terms used in the movie. Seeing as Fantastic Beasts has all new characters, I didn't always fully catch their first/last name (and nickname sometimes) so this book certainly helped me better understand the movie. This book is aimed at a younger audience, but I still found it to be a useful guide of who is who and what creature is called what.

I bought this while on holidays in Montreal, mostly for the point of being able to buy something to read in French! Obviously none of the information was new to me, but I enjoyed being able to refresh my mind on some vocabulary from the Wizarding World. For instance, I like that "Mooncalf" translates to "Veaudelune", I believe. Newt Scamander becomes "Norbert Dragonneau"! It was a quick read, but it was a good way to practice some reading in French, which I always seem to neglect doing!!

This is a photo-packed overview of the Fantastic Beasts movie and is put together in an appealing way. As someone who has seen all the Harry Potter movies (but have yet to watch the Fantastic Beasts movie) I found this "handbook" peaked my interest to watch the movie. Suitable for tweens and young teen fans of J.K. Rowling's magical world.

Mediocre. Left out several key points of the film(Grindelwald, for example) and got some facts wrong. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE SPELL FOR OPENING DOORS!!!!! All in all was an okay book with some great photos.

It was nice and had a lot of information about the movie but I think the major portion was filled with pictures. It would be a great pick if you are fond of books with a lot of pictures but for me it was just a 3-star ☺

It was a cute read. Interesting facts about the creatures you learned about in Harry Potter. I was expecting something different, but of you like knowing more about little details of Harry Potter creatures, pick this up.
December 7, 2016
This is a very lovely made book and had a lot of informations, but it was nothing special. A little more would have been great.
May 29, 2017
movie was great and I enjoyed reading about the making of it. and the behind the scenes stuff.

A funny guide to some of the characters in the movie

I really like this book it tells me lots of things about fantastic beast that I did'n realise.

Boring! Ugh.

Les Animaux Fantastiques – Un film magique est un livret qui revient rapidement sur le film en question. On y trouve des informations générales sur l’histoire en elle-même, mais également une présentation des personnages principaux. On s’attarde sur certains d’entre eux, apprenant à mieux les connaître ou révélant au passage quelques secrets coupés au montage. On y découvre par exemple que Jacob était fiancé… jusqu’à ce que son prêt lui soit refusé, ce qui n’apparaît pas dans le film.
La partie sur les animaux du film est par contre assez pauvre. Aucune description, juste des dessins et les noms… Et à peine quelques informations sur leurs différents habitats dans une jolie infographie malheureusement non traduite et donc un peu confuse…
Les deux dernières parties sont plus fournies et instructives. L’une développe un peu les organisations rencontrées au cours du film, comme le MACUSA – le ministère de la magie américain, tandis que l’autre apporte plus de précisions sur les lieux importants du film.
En conclusion, un petit livre qui n’est pas forcément nécessaire car il ne fait que reprendre en grande partie ce qu’on trouve dans le film. Cependant, quelques informations inédites s’y cachent, ce qui ne manquera pas de ravir les fans !

Nice book, gives a good reminder of what was in the movie but it does not have anythimg more to give in terms of information that the movie.
It briefly mentions the beasts by name without saying anything about them, and the sections with the wands etc. is as plain, item name and photo. Actually gives even less information about the movie.
Long story short, if you have watched the movie, there is no need to read this book as you already know much more than what is mentioned in it.
