Hogwarts comes to America in this Harry Potter alternate universe. Here we have Newt (Eddie Redmayne) just off the boat at Ellis Island. He's got a suitcase of unusual creatures that he smuggles in. He does it with a smile so it's OK, right? But of course he loses the suitcase to a bumbling American (Dan Fogler) and gets investigated by the Dragnet of the Magical Congress (Katherine Waterston).
And of course, we have Colin Farrell, a Southland View favorite, as the Professor Snape character.
A surprise character awaits at the end - he's credited, so we should expect more of Grindewald (Johnny Depp) in the future.
No need to overthink the plot or read the book. It's a fun movie and there should be plenty more in this new series.
