![]() ![]() Newt rescued the bird, named him Frank, and travelled to America, intending to return him to his natural habitat in Arizona. Īround 1926, Albus Dumbledore told Newt Scamander about a Thunderbird captured by traffickers in Egypt. They were particularly prized by Transfigurers. Wolfe wands were generally held to be extremely powerful, though difficult to master. Shikoba Wolfe, who was of Choctaw descent, was primarily famous for intricately carved wands containing Thunderbird tail feathers. They too were also able to sense danger, much like their donors, also being able to cast curses on their own. Thunderbirds' tail feather could be used as a core in a wand, with this type of wand being difficult to master, but powerful and skilled in transfiguration work. The Thunderbird could also sense danger and created storms as it flied. ![]() The Thunderbird was known to change colours as it summoned storms, its iridescent feathers shifting from various shades of gold to electrifying blue, to grey and silver, to white, and even to deep navy. They possessed three pairs of powerful wings, and had feathers that shimmered with cloud-like patterns. It is a recommendation from me indeed, and after this, we'll see if the next spin-off coming to theaters near us, Rouge One: A Star Wars Story, can top this.The Thunderbird was described as having a head that was " similar to that of an eagle" or, in the wizarding world, " similar to that of a Hippogriff". ![]() The movie is overall a holiday treat with a Fun story and characters, interesting ideas, and awesome effects. After the Harry Potter films, I didn't expect this spin-off to be this good, but I was wrong. So overall, brilliant visual effects to add to this film. I like how this film used many more of these ideas to bring to life and doesn't make it stand out as much in the action scenes or use gimmicks (unlike the other Harry Potter films). Other magic in the film is unique (like the suitcase). The design of the animals are brilliant, (just to avoid the "fantastic" pun)with unique abilities, and they all stand out rather than simply having dragons. The visual effects in this movie are better than shown in the other 8 Harry Potter movies. ![]() I only mentioned those because the rest of the cast involves spoilers, but the characters are overall pleasant additions to the Harry Potter universe. The fantastic beasts in the movie are also really funny, and cute as well. I liked how he has a goofy personality and is very funny. But my favorite character is Jacob, who is a no-maj(non magical person) who gets involved in the adventure and helps Newt. Also joining the adventure, is the auror Tina and her sister Queenie, who are likable and contribute to the adventure. Seriously why would anyone think that bringing a suitcase of magical creatures that isn't 100% secure to a city of non magical people is a wonderful idea? However, he is a fun character with a goofy personality and if great to follow. The main character Newt (I'm just going to be honest) is a moron. For the characters of this film, they are a pretty enjoyable cast. But those little nitpicks don't take away the good writing this film has. When I watched it, it took me 10-15 minutes to understand it. However, it can be confusing, and hard to get into at first. It also introduces interesting ideas to the universe, which really got me intrigued. The movie mostly has a good pace, and is fun. It is centered on the wizard Newt Scamander, who brings magical a suitcase containing Magical Creatures to New York, but when the creatures come loose, its up to him and his friends to get them back to avoid getting exposed to non magical people. What's not to like about that? This film is set in the same universe as Harry Potter, except in 1926, in New York. Checking this out in theaters for me didn't require any trailers, because its based on the Harry Potter universe. But I do usually see them because the originals are good. Originality is nearly non-existent in the movie industry now a days since sequels, spin-offs, prequels, and Remakes dominate. ![]()
