Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #3

Synopsis: Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It is the middle of the 20s and times are troubled since the already fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people that the MACUSA Congress struggles to maintain, is at risk of being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At the same time, by a twist of fate, Newt's precious suitcase will be switched with the identical one of an aspiring No-Maj baker, Jacob Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard.

should stop the sweating.

And one of those should sort the twitch.

Take that.

Come on...

What you got there? -This

the locals call Swooping Evil,

not the friendliest of names.

Its quite an agile fellow.

Ive been studying him. And

I am pretty sure his venom

could be quite useful if properly diluted.

Just to remove bad memories, you know.

Probably shouldnt let

him loose in here, though.

Come on.

Come on. Down you come.

Come on.

Oh, thank Paracelsus.

If youd have got out that could

have been quite catastrophic.

You see, hes the real

reason I came to America.

To bring Frank home.

No, sorry, stay there, hes a

wee bit sensitive to strangers.

Here you are, here you are.

He was trafficked, you see.

I found him in Egypt, he was all chained up.

Couldnt leave him there,

had to bring him back.

Im going to put you back where

you belong, arent I, Frank?

To the wilds of Arizona.

Here they come. -Here

who comes? -The Graphorns.

Youre all right. Youre all right.

Hello, hello!

So theyre the last

breeding pair in existence.

If I hadnt managed to rescue them, that

could have been the end of Graphorns, forever.

All right.

What, you rescue these creatures?

-Yes, thats right.

Rescue, nurture, and protect them,

and Im gently trying to educate

my fellow wizards about them.

Come on.

Titus? Finn? Poppy, Marlow, Tom?

He had a cold. He needed some body warmth.

Right, on you hop.

See, he has some attachment issues.

-Now, come on, Pickett.

Pickett. No, theyre not going

to bully you. Now, come on.

Pickett!

All right. But that is exactly

why they accuse me of favoritism.

I wonder where Dougals gone.

All right, Im coming, Im

coming, Mums here. Mums here.

Hello, you, let me take a look at you.

-I know these guys.

Your Occamy.

-What do you mean? My Occamy?

Yes, do you want to...

Yeah, sure. Okay.

Hey.

-No, sorry, dont pet them.

They learn to defend themselves early. See, their

shells are made of silver so theyre incredibly valuable.

Okay. -Their nests tend to

get ransacked by hunters.

Thank you.

Mr. Scamander?

-Call me Newt.

Newt, I dont think Im dreaming.

What gave it away?

-I aint got the brains to make this up.

Actually, would you mind throwing some of

those pellets in with the Mooncalves over there?

Yeah, sure.

-Just over there...

Bugger, Nifflers gone. Of

course he has, little bugger.

Any chance to get his

hands on something shiny.

What did you do today, Jacob?

I was inside a suitcase.

Hey. Hello, fellas. All right, all right.

Take it easy, take it easy.

Cutie. There it is.

Step back.

-Jeez...

Step back. -Whats the matter

with this? -I said step away. -Yeah.

What the hell is this thing?

-Its an Obscurus.

I need to get going, find everyone

whos escaped before they get hurt.

Before they could get hurt? -Yes, Mr. Kowalski.

Theyre currently in alien terrain,

surrounded by millions of the most

vicious creatures on the planet.

Humans.

So where would you say that a medium-sized

creature that likes broad, open plains,

trees, water holes, that kind

of thing, where might she go?

In New York City?

-Yes. -Plains?

Central Park? -And where is that

exactly? -Where is Central Park?

Well, look, I would come and show you,

but dont you think its

kind of a double cross?

The girls take us in,

they make us hot cocoa.

You do realize that when they see youve stopped

sweating, theyll obliviate you in a heartbeat.

What does Bliviate mean? -Itll be like

you wake up and all memory of magic is gone.

I wont remember any of this?

-No.

All right, yeah, okay, Ill help you.

Come on, then.

Credence, where have you been?

I was looking for a place

for tomorrows meeting.

Theres a corner on

Thirty-Second Street that could...

Im sorry, Ma. I didnt realize it was so late.

I was watching you at dinner. -Yeah.

-People like you, dont they, Mr. Kowalski?

Well, Im sure people like you too, huh?

-No, not really. I annoy people.

Why did you decide to be a baker?

Well, because Im dying

in that canning factory.

Everyone theres dying. It just crushes the

life outta you. You like canned food? -No.

Yeah. Me neither. Thats why I want to make pastries, you

know. It makes people happy. Were going this way.

So did you get your loan?

No, I aint got no collateral. Stayed in

the army too long, apparently, I dont know.

You fought in the war? -Of course I fought in the war,

everyone fought in the war. You didnt fight in the war?

I worked mostly with dragons,

Ukrainian Ironbellies,

Eastern Front.

Finestra.

Accio!

All right? Happy?

One down, two to go.

They went that way, Officer.

-Hands up!

What the hell is that?

Lion...

You know, New York is considerably

more interesting than Id expected.

Put this on. -Why would I have

to wear something like this?

Because your skull is susceptible

to breakage under immense force.

But we made em cocoa.

Right.

Okay, if you just, pop this on.

-Okay.

Now, theres absolutely

nothing for you to worry about.

Tell me, has anyone ever believed

you when you told them not to worry?

My philosophy is that worrying

means you suffer twice.

Shes in season. She needs to mate.

Erumpent musk,

she is mad for it.

Good girl...

Come on, into the case.

Oh, no.

Repar...

Merlins beard!

Theyre exactly the same.

Same thing.

-Newt!

No, no, no, dont!

Im so sorry.

Good show, Mr. Kowalski!

Call me Jacob.

Two down, one to go.

In you hop.

Ladies and gentlemen,

tonights keynote speaker

needs no introduction from me.

Hes been mentioned

as a future president.

And if you dont believe me,

just read his daddys newspapers.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

the senator for New York, Henry Shaw!

Thank you. Thank you!

Thank you.

And its true we have made some progress,

but there is no reward for idleness.

So just as the odious

saloons have been banished...

What's going on?

So now the pool halls, and

these private parlors...

What is that?

Witches!

Our American friends have permitted

a breach of the Statute of Secrecy,

that threatens to expose us all.

I will not be lectured by the man who let

Gellert Grindelwald slip through his fingers.

Madam President, Im so sorry to

interrupt, but this is critical.

Youd better have an excellent excuse

for this intrusion, Miss Goldstein.

Yes, I do.

Maam. Yesterday a wizard

entered New York with a case.

This case full of magical creatures,

and unfortunately, some have escaped.

He arrived yesterday?

You have known for twenty-four

hours that an unregistered wizard

set magical beasts loose in New York

and you see fit to tell us

only when a man has been killed?

Who has been killed?

-Where is this man?

Scamander?

Hello, Minister.

-Theseus Scamander? The war hero?

No, this is his little brother.

And what are you doing in New York?

I came to buy an Appaloosa

Puffskein, sir. -Right.

What are you really doing here?

Goldstein, and who is this?

This is Jacob Kowalski, Madam President,

hes a No-Maj who got bitten by
