Parent View:
Much like Star Wars films – J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world looks to be enjoyed for generations to come. Fantastic Beasts is everything you would expect from this incredible series of movies. Being that the main characters are adults – the new movie does play to a slightly older audience, although there is something very childlike about the lead character ‘Newt’ and Kidz will love him in the same way they love Willy Wonka. There are some ‘Grim Tales’ style dark moments – but over all the content is no different to any of the Harry Potter films. Personally I think the movie should carry a BBFC PG rating, not 12A. We’ll be taking Bex to see the movie and she’s only 5 years old. It’s not Harry Potter but the magic is most certainly back for fans of the franchise. Highly Recommended!!!

3D Blu-Ray Review:
Visually the Harry Potter movies have always been a spectacular array of magical effects – so when the last of the films was released in 3D it was such a shame that the 3D upgrade didn’t quite live up to the visuals it was meant to be projecting from the screen. This isn’t the case with Fantastic Beasts. The 3D effects in this movie are both beautiful to watch and perfectly enhance vast magical world JK Rowling has created for this new series of films. Everything from creatures to wands appear from the screen. A must own for the 3D collection!!!

Stand out 3D Moments –opening sequence with Logo and News form the magical world, Blue “moth” creature, Jacob & Newt inside the case (No spoilers), catching the creature at Jewellery shop, Newt saving Tina from execution, magical nightclub, Large black creature in New York street (No spoiler) and Finale battle in subway.
