New images released at the time include the quartet running down a New York City alleyway; David Yates chatting to stars Katherine Waterston and Eddie Redmayne on the set in front of a blown out subway station; Colin Farrell's character, Percival Graves, interrogating an arrested and handcuffed Newt; and Graves and Credence putting up anti-magic propaganda. Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. Over its first month of streaming in HBO Max, the film was streamed in an estimated eight million households.

The official hardcover screenplay was scheduled to be released on 19 July 2022, three months after the film's theatrical release.

Muggles who have seen the eponymous film or read the Harry Potter novels will be familiar with some of these beasts. It is the first instalment in the Fantastic Beasts film series and the ninth overall in the Wizarding World franchise, serving as a spin-off of and prequel to the Harry Potter film series; it is inspired by the 2001 guide book of the same name by Rowling.

You can see the bones of a great story and I think had JK Rowling written the books, we could have had something that was up there with Harry Potter. She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). A particular focus of praise from some reviews was that Mads Mikkelsen outperformed Johnny Depp in the role of Grindelwald.
