Fantastic beasts and where to find them by jk rowling


We gaan terug in de tijd: de magische wereld vijftig jaar vóór Harry Potter, de wereld van Fantastic Beasts. De spectaculaire film, met Eddie Redmayne in de hoofdrol, ging het afgelopen najaar wereldwijd in première en kreeg juichende kritieken. Het was tevens het debuut van J.K. Rowling als filmscenarioschrijver. Dit voorjaar verschijnt de complete Nederlandse tekst van dit scenario in boekvorm.

1926, New York. Newt Scamander, 's werelds eerste (en waarschijnlijk enige) magiezoöloog, bezoekt de stad vanuit Engeland. Zijn liefde voor fabeldieren en andere magische wezens is grenzeloos.
Maar zijn strijd om deze te beschermen neemt een alarmerende wending als een aantal dieren uit zijn koffer ontsnapt en in de stad opduikt. Hij gaat naar ze op zoek, daarbij geholpen door Tina Goldstein, een jonge Amerikaanse (voormalige) Schouwer die werkt voor het Magische Congres van de VS, haar onbezonnen zusje Queenie dat gedachten kan lezen en Jakob Kowalski, een veteraan (en een No-Maj), die eigenlijk alleen maar een bakkerij wil openen, zodat hij zijn geliefde babka kan verkopen. Maar dan duikt er een duister magisch wezen op dat niet uit Newts koffer afkomstig is en een ravage veroorzaakt in de stad...

"A glance through Muggle art and literature of the Middle Ages reveals that many of the creatures they now believe to be imaginary were then known to be real."

As every fan of the Harry Potter stories knows, the shelves of the Hogwarts Library are home to all sorts of fascinating books. There are three in particular you might have heard mentioned by certain Hogwarts students, and that you can add to your listening list too, including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

A set textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since publication, Newt Scamander's masterpiece has entertained wizarding families through the generations. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an indispensable introduction to the magical beasts of the wizarding world.

Flipping through the pages of Newt's famous journal, you'll journey around the globe and discover the many and varied creatures that he made it his life's work to study and protect. Some of the beasts will be familiar to fans of the Wizarding World - the Hippogriff, the Niffler, the Hungarian Horntail... while others will surprise even the most ardent amateur Magizoologist.

Who better to narrate this stunning catalogue of magical creatures than Eddie Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts movies? Eddie's film credits include The Danish Girl, My Week with Marilyn, Les Misérables and The Theory of Everything, for which he won a Golden Globe, an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor.

Fans of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are sure to enjoy the other Hogwarts Library books: Quidditch Through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
