My review
Thoughts on the book: I haven't seen the movie yet so when I recieved Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for review I was estates to read it. Being written by the world famous J.K. Rowling and being part of the Harry Potter world moved this book to the top of my TBR. Upon reading it and completing it I was left a little disappointed. I can't quite put my finger on why though. Like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is written just as a screenplay would be. However with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child I knew the main characters previously so I could envision what was happening but with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them I hadn't met the characters or creatures before so it was a little hard to envision them without a really accurate discription, which being written as a screenplay didn't really need. This could have been why I didn't like it as much. I think once I see the movie though it may make more sense to me.
Rating: 3/5
