　　哈利·波特系列圆满结局的五年后，J.K.罗琳携全新的魔法世界回归，带来一个与《哈利·波特》系列有着千丝万缕联系，却又完全不同的魔法新次元——《神奇动物在哪里》(Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them)将于2016.11.25在中国内地上映!

　　影片上周在伦敦、纽约举行首映式，首波口碑大爆，烂番茄影评网站新鲜度高达100%，各大外媒影评人都打了不低的分数!作为一名哈利波特粉，就凭它是J.K.罗琳首任编剧的作品，就凭它的导演是大卫·耶茨，英语君也要去刷!票!房!当然啦，即使不是粉丝也没有关系，因为这部剧据称，既不是哈利波特系列的前传，也不是续写，仅仅只是衍生电影，看起来毫无压力~

　　Fantastic Beasts Book: The origins神奇动物书：起源

　　Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themstarted out as the name of a textbook, mentioned in passing during Harry's early days at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Four years later, Fantastic Beasts was published in the real world written by JK Rowling but credited to fictional author and "magizoologist" Newt Scamander.

　　《神奇动物在哪里》最开始是一本教科书，在《哈利·波特与魔法石》里有提到过，那时正好是哈利早期在霍格沃茨魔法学校度过的一段时光。四年后，J.K.罗琳所作的《神奇动物在哪里》这本书真真正正地出版了(在网上各大书店都可以买到)，但是这本书被记作是科幻作者魔法动物学家纽特·斯卡曼德(罗琳化名)所著。

　　The book, authored by Scamander in 1927, describes 85 magical species found around the wizarding world as documented over his years of globe-trotting. During Scamander's time at the Ministry of Magic's Beast Division, he introduced several key pieces of magical legislation including the 1947 Werewolf Registry and the 1965 ban on experimental breeding of magical creatures.

　　这本书是斯卡曼德在1927年所写，描述了他在魔法世界多年的旅游生活中记录下来找到的85种魔法生物。斯卡曼德在神奇动物控制司的那段时间里，他提出了一些关键的魔法法规，包括19467年的狼人登记办公室和1965年的实验配种禁令。

　　Fantastic Beasts plot: The new franchise 神奇动物计划：新版权

　　In September of 2013, Warner Bros announced that they would be re-teaming with Rowling on a new trilogy based upon Fantastic Beasts. Then in a jaw dropping twist JK Rowling announced that it would in fact be five films. Five!

　　2013年9月，华纳兄弟宣布将于罗琳再次组队拍摄以神奇动物展开的新三部曲。然后，J.K.罗琳宣布了一个让人惊掉下巴消息，神奇动物系列实际上将有五部电影，五部哦!

　　Fantastic Beasts cast: Redmayne and Waterston 神奇动物演员——雷德梅恩和沃特森

　　Eddie Redmayne will play Scamander, who's described as an eccentric wizard, much more comfortable around magical creatures than he is around people.

　　埃迪·雷德梅恩饰演斯卡曼德，他是一位不同寻常的魔法师，因为比起和人相处，他觉得与魔法生物们在一起更自在些。

　　Katherine Waterston, best known for her breakout in Inherent Vice and Steve Jobs, will play his love interest Porpentina, an ambitious and idealistic young woman working for MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America).

　　凯瑟琳·沃特森因出演《性本恶》和《史蒂夫·乔布斯》而出名，将出演斯卡曼德的爱人波尔蓬蒂娜，她是一位满怀雄心壮志且理想主义的年轻女性，为美国魔法国会工作。

　　Alison Sudol plays Tina's younger sister Queenie, a free-spirited legilimens (a kind of mind-reader).

　　艾莉森·苏朵儿饰演蒂娜的妹妹奎妮，她是一名摄念师(摄神取念者)。

　　Fantastic Beasts 2, 3, 4 and 5: sequels to equal 神奇动物2、3、4、5部：续集

　　Unsurprisingly, details are fairly scares on the sequels though we have learned bits and pieces. The second movie will be set in Europe rather than the US and a young Dumbledore will be featured more prominently.

　　不出所料，虽然我们只了解到一些片段，但是也知道续集的细节相当恐怖。第二部电影设定在欧洲而不是在美国，年轻的邓布利多将更加突出。

　　Yates has signed up to direct all five films. While it's too early to say exactly how the sequels will be broken down it seems likely that the movies will begin to chart the relationship and falling out of Dumbledore and Grindlewald.

　　叶茨导演直接签署了全部五部电影。虽然确定续集会如何展开还为时尚早，但是电影似乎开始描述邓布利多和格林德沃关系(如何一步步)变差。
