Il giovane magizoologo Newt Scamander arriva a New York dall'Inghilterra con una valigia piena delle creature fantastiche che ha raccolto e salvato in molti anni di viaggi e ricerche. Senza volere, scambia però il prezioso carico con quello di Jacob Kowalski, pasticcere e No-Mag (è il nome americano dei Babbani), il quale libera inavvertitamente le creature, violando lo Statuto di Segretezza e mettendo Newt nei guai. È il 1926 e il Paese è in grande subbuglio: l'oscuro Gellert Grindewalt è introvabile, qualcosa di misterioso semina caos e distruzione per le strade della città e i fondamentalisti della caccia alle streghe sono sempre più infervorati. Il mondo magico e quello dei No-Mag sono pericolosamente vicini ad entrare in guerra. Bisogna essere creature un po' magiche, com'è J. K. Rowling, per far saltar fuori da un bestiario di poche pagine, pensato come testo scolastico per i giovani allievi di Hogwarts, una pentalogia che, stando almeno al primo capitolo, non ha nulla del calco della saga potteriana ma soltanto una magnifica continuità di visione e di felicità d'invenzione. In questo quadro, David Yates non ha, però, un ruolo minore: la sua frequentazione dell'universo magico della scrittrice ne ha fatto probabilmente il miglior traduttore in circolazione per il cinema, specie degli episodi più scuri e perturbanti, com'è questo, nei quali dimostra ancora una volta di saper equilibrare con sapienza la necessità di non edulcorare il tema e l'eleganza di non indulgere nell'orrorifico per vezzo. Denso di citazioni interne e di indizi che faranno incuriosire i fan, così come di allusioni a personaggi storici (Deliverance Dane) e persino di reminiscenze e atmosfere di sapore prettamente cinematografico, Animali Fantastici e Dove Trovarli non è per questo un film chiuso ai nuovi arrivati. Al contrario. E non potrebbe essere diversamente: in primo luogo perché, proprio come Newt, siamo tutti nuovi al mondo che incontra e agli amici che si farà (non più un trio ma un quartetto, adulto, altrettanto riuscito) e, secondariamente, perché il film è, nel suo tema, un invito a ripensare proprio i pregiudizi e la clandestinità, e a non temere la diversità. Non solo Newt si stupisce che gli Stati Uniti non prevedano, come fa già l'Europa, matrimoni misti tra Maghi e No-Mag, ma soprattutto il film racconta, nel suo cuore più dark e potente, quali terribili conseguenze può avere punire qualcuno per quello che è, quale forza folle e traumatica può scatenare in un bambino il sentirsi rifiutato, non accettato, non amato. Scamander, che salva le creature che terrorizzano chi non le conosce, le nutre e la protegge, e soprattutto si adopera per insegnare ad altri maghi come prendersi cura di loro, ha l'animo del giovane maestro illuminato, che sa che bisogna mettersi ad altezza di bambino, giocare con lui, parlare il suo linguaggio. Non è un caso, dunque, che al pronunciare la parola "scuola", lui, Tina e Queenie sospirino di nostalgia. Questo sarà anche un film per un pubblico più adulto, ma non per chi non ha almeno un po' di nostalgia per quel tempo, l'infanzia, in cui non c'erano barriere tra le pareti di casa e il mondo degli amici e degli animali immaginari.

At the scene of a building collapse a cop tells the crowd it isn't a gas explosion because there is no smell of gas.But natural gas is both odorless and colorless, adding odor to the gas was globally adopted after the New London School explosion of 1937.So even if there had been a gas leak or explosion, the cop would not have been able to smell gas. <br>------------------------<br><br>A theatre marquee advertises a show called TRIBECA FOLLIES. The neologism Tribeca (an acronym for Triangle Below Canal [Street]) was not coined until the 1970s. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Newt is preparing to leave the ship at the beginning of the movie, an overhead shot shows a crowd of muddy footprints on the deck in front of him. All of these footprints seem to be from shoes with rubber treads, but such treads were not available until the late 1930s for mountain climbers and much later for everyday shoes. In the 1920s, all shoes would have had flat leather soles. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Newt first goes to the sisters' apartment, a record of Ruth Etting singing "You're the Cream in My Coffee" is playing. However, this song was not published until 1928, and Etting didn't record it until 1929---though the film is set in 1926. <br>------------------------<br><br>The torch of the Statue of Liberty is shown in its current design of gold covered copper. That version was installed in 1980. The original torch (currently on display in the museum) was a copper framework with glass and was illuminated from within, having been in that form since a major reworking in 1919. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Senator Shaw is speaking at the dinner party, the US flag to his right has offset stars like the present 50 star flag has, in 1924 the flag was a 48 star flag where the stars were in even rows. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Tina takes Newt to the Wand Registry Office at MACUSA, the nameplate on her desk says "Queenie Goldstein". <br>------------------------<br><br>When Newt chases one of his creatures through Central Park, the park is covered in snow and people are ice skating on a frozen pond. At any other time directly before or immediately after this scene and throughout the movie, there is no snow anywhere, and people are dressed for moderate weather. <br>------------------------<br><br>When in Newt's case for the first time, Newt goes from wearing his jacket, vest and tie, to his vest and loose tie, to just his blouse and loose tie, back to his vest and tie again in just a few shots. <br>------------------------<br><br>Just before entering Newt's suitcase, a spot is visible on Kowalski's shirt (precisely on his left shoulder). As the sequence goes on, the spot disappears. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the scene where Jacob is showing the bank manager his suitcase of cakes -Initially, the cakes are a bit tumbled about, unsuprising due to the case's rather rough treatment up to that point, and are rather piled up on the viewer's right hand side of the case.However, after a cut, the cakes' arrangment within the case change. No more piles. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Frank, the Thunderbird, leaves New York, he goes towards the sun. As all of the battle happened during nighttime, the sun was coming up and, therefore, Frank went eastwards. Considering he would go back to Arizona, he took the wrong direction. <br>------------------------<br><br>In Mary Lou Barebone's (Samantha Morton) initial speech at the protest rally, she refers to "the wireless" as one of the marvels of modern technology. That is the British term; a speaker in New York City in 1926 would have said "the radio." <br>------------------------<br><br>When Scamander arrives in New York, the Immigration officer takes his passport then turns it sideways to examine it. The old blue British passport did not have pages that were oriented sideways. <br>------------------------<br><br>Manhattan didn't allow overhead wires, so streetcars used a conduit (an electrified third rail situated in a slot between the rails) to get electricity. Though the streetcars are correctly depicted lacking trolley poles, the conduit is not present. <br>------------------------<br><br>The customs official says that Newt had recently been to Equatorial Guinea. It was not known as Spanish Guinea until it's independence in 1968. <br>------------------------<br><br>City Hall subway station is situated in a turning loop and only has one track, and not two as depicted. <br>------------------------<br><br>Though the wizards can freely apparate (i.e., teleport) at will, there are at least two instances where they could have--and should have--but don't: When Tina has to sneak Newt and Jacob into her apartment, and later when Goldie has to smuggle all three of them out of the MACUSA Building. This is not a plot hole as is was seen in the Harry Potter universe that it is possible to prevent apparation into certain places. Most prominent into Hogwarts, but also into the Ministry of Magic, which MACUSA resembles. Although this could also explain why Tina did not apparate into her apartment it seems unlikely they had such security in place, but it could be either to not alert her landlady in case she was a No-Maj, by coming and going like that or just that it is generally the normal procedure not to scare anyone inside the hose (her sister in this case) by suddenly appearing by apparating. In the Harry Potter universe Ron's father apparates to the outside and walks in the door. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the smashed subway, near the end of the film, Eddie Redmayne kicks a brick which is obviously made of foam. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Newt (Eddie Redmayne) turns the Niffler upside down to shake out the jewelry it's consumed, it's obvious what he's holding is a simple cloth puppet containing the prop jewelry. <br>------------------------<br><br>Grindelwald expects to be imprisoned rather than executed. (And to escape.) But we have earlier seen that the American wizards will execute major offenders. Considering the majority of his crimes were committed in Europe, though, it would make sense that he would also be tried by the governments of those countries, who have a differing view of the death penalty than Americans do. <br>------------------------<br><br>It's established throughout the film that they would need to wipe Jacob's memory of everything relating to magic, but in the end they realize that most of the city needs wiping so Newt releases a venom into the clouds to make it rain onto people. It is established in this scene that Jacob needed to be in the rain to loose his memory, but the wizards do not seem to needs to stay out of the rain, and it shows human characters don't inside hoses do not need to be touching the rain in order to have their memory wiped. Not all inside were in contact with water when their memories were wiped and this water is not in contact with that outside so this could not explain this. Also Queinee uses protection against the water when kissing Jacob at the end to protect her memory. There seems to be no reason the venom would only work on No-Majs so the wizards should have been affected. Also there seems to be no way the venom should work on people not out in the rain as it was with Jacob. And why would the venom know which memories it should delete and what about the dead people? The city is rebuild by wizards (walking unprotected in the rain) but they cannot raise the dead. Now people may not even remember those they have lost. It is also mentioned that it would only take bad memories, but then most of Jacobs memories of wizardry should have stayed (which it may have according to one of the last scenes when he meets Queinee again). But his memories also goes several days back, whereas the other people should they not only forget this last attack, or also all the previous problems with the obscuro. So many problems with that scene. <br>------------------------<br><br>
