Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #6

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.

and escort him back to...

Accio.

Revelio.

Do you think you can hold me?

Well do our best, Mr. Grindelwald.

Will we die, just a little?

I figured somebody oughta

keep an eye on this thing.

Thank you. -We owe you

an apology, Mr. Scamander.

But the magical community is exposed!

We cannot obliviate an entire city.

Actually, I think we can.

I was intending to wait

until we got to Arizona,

but it seems like now you

are our only hope, Frank.

Ill miss you too.

You know what youve got to do.

They wont remember anything.

That venom has incredibly

powerful obliviative properties.

We owe you a great

debt, Mr. Scamander.

Now, get that case out of New York.

Yes, Madam President.

Is that No-Maj still here?

Obliviate him. There can be no exceptions.

Im sorry, but even one witness.

You know the law.

Ill let you say good-bye.

This is for the best.

Yeah, I was, I was never

even supposed to be here.

I was never supposed to know any of this.

Everybody knows Newt only

kept me around because...

Newt, why did you keep me around?

Because I like you.

Because youre my friend

and Ill never forget

how you helped me, Jacob.

Ill come with you.

Well go somewhere, well go anywhere.

See, I aint never gonna find anyone like.

Theres loads like me.

-No. No.

Theres only one like you.

I gotta go.

Jacob!

-Its okay. Its okay.

Its okay.

Its just like waking up, right?

So sorry, sorry!

Dear Mr. Kowalski, You are

wasted in a canning factory.

Please take these Occamy eggshells

as collateral for your bakery.

A well-wisher.

Its been...

-Hasnt it?

Listen, Newt, I wanted to thank you.

What on earth for?

Well, you know, if you hadnt said all

those nice things to Madam Picquery about me,

I wouldnt be back on the

investigative team now.

Well, I cant think of anyone that

Id rather have investigating me.

Try not to need

investigating for a bit. -I will.

Quiet life for me from now on.

Back to the Ministry. Deliver my

manuscript. -Ill look out for it.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Does Leta Lestrange like to read?

Who?

-The girl whose picture you carry.

I dont really know what Leta likes

these days because people change.

Yes.

-Ive changed.

I think. Maybe a little.

Ill send you a copy of my book, if I may.

-Id like that.

Im so sorry. How would you feel

if I gave you your copy in person?

Id like that.

Very much.

Where do you get your ideas from, Mr. Kowalski?

-I dont know.

I don't know.

They just come.

Here you go. Dont forget this. Enjoy.

Hey, Henry, storage, all right?

Thanks, pal.
