The first teaser trailer for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them was released on Tuesday. Watch below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, Fantastic Beasts is a prequel to the Harry Potter movies. The highly-anticipated film is based on a fictional book of the same name that author J.K. Rowling created for the Harry Potter universe. The big screen adaptation is not about that textbook, which Harry and his pals used at Hogwarts, but the author of it, Newt Scamander.

Eddie Redmayne stars as Scamander, and the film’s plot, set decades before the Harry Potter stories, has him visiting the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Things go awry when his creatures begin escaping from his magical briefcase. Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell, and Ezra Miller also star.

Rowling wrote the script herself, the first time she’s handled screenplay duties. David Yates, who directed the final four Harry Potter movies, directs. And this is expected to be the first film in a new triology.

With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows — Part Two hitting theaters four years ago, this new preview invites fans to “return to the wizarding world.” Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them will hit theaters on November 16, 2016. Check out the first teaser trailer below, and tell us what you think!
