Teen Movie & a Sundae

(Entering Grades 7-12)

Stop by the library to cool off with an ice cream sundae and watch "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926. British magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) arrives in Manhattan with a briefcase full of magical creatures. Unfortunately for Scamander, a few of his friends -- which are illegal to breed or keep in the United States -- escape right around the same time that the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) is investigating a series of dark magical events. When demoted Auror (magical law enforcement officer) Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) discovers that Scamander has not only lost a few of his beasts but has also exposed a No-Maj (short for "no magic" -- the American term for Muggles) bystander, Kowalski (Dan Fogler), to the magical realm, she tries to bring him in, only to be shooed away by her superiors. Eventually, the two men, Tina, and her mind-reading sister, Queenie (Alison Sudol), end up working together to find Newt's missing creatures and clear their names of any connection to the forces of darkness that have killed a prominent No-Maj. Meanwhile, Director of Magical Security Percival Graves (Colin Farrell) is quietly tracking the possible source of the dark magic" (Commonsensemedia.org).
