Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

An enjoyable bit of Harry Potter-dom.  The magical creatures were the best part not surprisingly.  Also not a surprise, the villain reveal.  And the Shaw family stuff felt fairly pointless.  Honestly the movie probably would have been tighter and a better story if it jettisoned all the excess plot and just concentrated on the whole fantastic beasts.  Just Scarmander and his new muggle buddy running around New York trying to retreve escaped magical creatures before they or the humans were hurt.  But still,not a bad movie.
