Prequel lacks magic touch
With [Rowling] on writing duties and David Yates - helmer of the last four [Harry Potter] movies - behind the camera, this spin-off comes with much 'Potter-verse' experience. His trademark low, nasally voice grates a lot more than usual, he unveils too many facial tics and is strangely subdued until the latter stages when [Newt Scamander] finally shows passion and energy. Faring better is Dan Fogler's \"muggle\" Jacob and Katherine Waterston's magical government agency employee Porpentina, and there is some nice cameo work from Jon Voight (Henry Shaw) and Ron Perlman (Gnarlack). Eat and The big and bold climax almost makes up for the prequel's earlier shortcomings and there's more than enough promise on display to suggest Rowling's haste to signpost four further entries wasn't misplaced.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them review -- a winning spell
The main injection of fresh blood is into the cast. A prequel of sorts, the film takes as its starting point the origins of the wizarding school textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. As the book's author, Newt Scamander, [Eddie Redmayne] gives an endearingly gauche turn. All pigeon-toed angles and stuttering rushes of enthusiasm, his great gift to the character is a crippling diffidence. He delivers much of his dialogue staring at people's shoes or elbows, only risking the shyest of self-effacing glances to meet their eyes. He's part earnest conservationist in the David Attenborough mould, part hapless innocent in the vein of Henry Fonda in The Lady Eve, and Newt has barely arrived in America before he finds himself in trouble with the Magical Congress (Macusa).
