Warner Bros. has set a date to the 1st entry in the HP spinoff Trilogy... Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=118226

Warner Bros. has set their Harry Potter franchise spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, for release on November 18, 2016. The film, based on J.K. Rowling's world of witches and wizards and inspired by Harry Potter’s Hogwarts textbook of the same name, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will follow the adventures of the book’s fictitious author, Newt Scamander.

The first in a planned trilogy set in the wizarding world, the story will feature magical creatures and characters, some of which will be familiar to devoted Harry Potter fans. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry's gets underway.

Still not sold

Visuals look decent and has the potter feel I suppose but that might also be to do with the music.

Redmayne looks so bad in this for me.
I don't rate him at all, he played one decent part in a film and that's all.

It just looks like a boring story

Aww I love Eddie

Well... that was fast...:

the studio officially announced their plans for a sequel, which will be the second installment in s magical new trilogy of films. The incomparable J.K. Rowling is back on-board to pen the script, a task she may have already completed, and long-time Potter director David Yates will be back to helm his sixth project in the Potter universe. Rowling, David Heyman, & Steve Kloves will produce the picture with Lionel Wigram, Neil Blair, Rick Senat, and Danny Cohen serving as executive producers.

WB also confirmed that the film will arrive in theaters on November 16, 2018, a date they already had reserved for a mysterious WB Event film, now revealed of course as the Fantastic Beasts sequel. It's still extremely early in the process, and plot details are pretty much nonexistant at this point, but the brief placeholder synopsis reads: "The second “Fantastic Beasts” movie moves deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding world, where Newt and our other heroes have to decide on their allegiances."​

Saw this last night. Thought it was good! Not better then some of the Harry Potter films... but still very enjoyable.
I thought the 3D was very hit and miss. Some scenes it worked great. but most of the time it almost made me feel sick. I'd say avoid the 3D for this one IMO.

Also... (big spoiler)

Spoiler

That surprise at the end was great! I knew that Johnny Depp was going to be in the sequel(s), but I had NO IDEA he would be in this one. Great twist!
He looks like he should make a great villain for future films.

In theaters

Just got back from seeing this in the IMAX in 3d.
Absolutely loved it.
A good deal of wonder and humour and not that dark

 

[Drum18]

Saw it yesterday.
had a LOT of great feeling watching it and truly it. My only downside was the lenght of the final battle... was a little too long IMO...

and yeah... as @kaw mentionned, that twist was a PURE DELIGHT!!!!

Spoiler

When Graves gave Credence the deadly hallow pendant, I was like "oh... he's a fan"... but NEVER figured he was THE man.... Great job!!!

And also, 3D was crap. I hate 3D !!!

 

[DrH]

And we're off to see it in the 4dx

 

[DrH]

Seen it in the 4dx which was quite enjoyable for the experience.
However
The 3d screening compared to the IMAX 3d was just too dark and difficult to make out details in the darker areas on the screen. A normal 3d traight I guess.

Still really enjoyed it a second time

 

[pdbluray]

Enjoyed it very fun IMO.

Spoiler

Eddie Redmayne was a bit Meh, Colin Farrell was great IMO to the point where i was disappointed about the ending,

 

[Flash]

I often think the cinema has lost a lot of its magic, too high prices for tickets and food and too many kids screaming for my liking but this film for me it really brought back some of that real cinematic magic. I honestly would urge anyone to go see this at the cinema, on the big screen it's breathtaking. It has a fantastic script, wonderful acting, particularly Eddie was an incredible as I knew he would be. It is full of really lovely moments and some dark, not over the top CGI but used to perfection. It's a real lump in the throat enchanting film. I loved it. A worthy addition to the wizarding world
