Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them Book Report
I read the fantasy book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (original screenplay) by J.K Rowling. This book has 230 pages. According to a customer review on Amazon,” Another trip to the Wizarding World”. I think Fantastic Beasts is for ages 12+. The reason why I think that is why is because it has some positive messages that younger kids might not understand. And, it has some words kids might not understand.

The main character is Newt Scamander. Newt is a magizoologist. He is smart, well respected by other wizards, really educated on magical beasts, an explorer, and a thinker. He wears a long blue coat, has a wand, brown short and curly hair, and has a leather suitcase.

Newt Scamander, a wizard from England, visits New York to get his friend a birthday present. Inside his suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. The already fragile balance of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and Muggles. 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 Muggle baker, Jacob Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard. To make matters worse, with the suitcase in the wrong hands, several creatures manage to escape to unknown directions. Before

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay is a fantastic book in my opinion because, since it is in a script form, it is very easy to direct in your head. The great detail in the story that J.K. Rowling executes perfectly creates not only a good story, but a whole new world. The characters are very lovable and believable and dives deep into their emotions and feelings. However, one of my main problems with the book is that we don’t learn much about the characters. In the story, we are shown a small fraction of Newt’s early life, a glimpse of Tina’s past, and not much about Jacob other than his job and motivation. Although it doesn’t affect the story much, it would be preferable to learn more about them so that the readers…

    The book is funny and witty, effortlessly matching old mythology and tradition with modern culture in a way that makes the book engrossing and unpredictable. There is talk of gods having affairs with mortals, and quite a bit of married gods having affairs with other gods. In the following book report, I will first introduce the plot of the story. Then, I will talk about the writing of the author and the strengths and weaknesses of the books.

    Since 1995 the character known as Harry Potter has gained not only positive feedback, yet also negative. Harry Potter has been known around the world as the “boy who lived” not only in the fictional world he was created, but as well as in our own world. It has come about that the brand of Harry Potter is estimated to be around the sum of $15 billion and ever growing. The character created in a children’s novel has taken on a life of itself rapidly increasing in the eyes of viewers as either an honorable or evil figure. Analyzing how Harry Potter evolves not only in the novels as a character, as well as in the eyes of the critics, we can truly understand how at the age of 10 and moving forward he has become an overall iconic figure.…

    Besides, I am fond of reading fiction. Hence, no wonder why I am on the second novel of Harry Potter now. It is children’s fiction, I know, but since I like the first three movies made by the books about Harry Potter, which I have watched repeatedly, I decided that it wouldn’t be difficult for me to read it in the original language, all the more that I would be able to use it for my work. I refer to my hot wish to inspire my pupils to read in English just for pleasure, not only because of school tasks. So, here I am reading “Harry Potter and the Secret Chamber” in my forty-one years…

    J.K. Rowling will mesmerize you from the very first page. The witches and wizards in Harry Potter may be fantasy, but the magic within the pages is not. The series that has attracted both children and adults has become an acknowledged classic worldwide. Acclaimed author Stephen King said, "Harry Potter books will indeed stand time's test and wind up on a shelf where only the best books are kept; I think Harry will take his place with Alice, Huck, Frodo, and Dorothy, and this is one series not just for the decade,…

    The first thing I noticed was that the book was being told from Katniss’s perspective, while the movie was told from many different perspectives. Also, in the book the Mocking Jay pin was given to Katniss by Madge before she went to the capital, and then Katniss gave the Mocking Jay pin to Prim. In the movie Katniss got the Mocking Jay pin from the black market, and then gives the Mocking Jay pin to Prim. Another thing I noticed was that Madge, the girl that gave Katniss the Mocking Jay pin, isn’t in the movie.…
