EDIT: There is some confusion b/c the reviews are being combined for three different books with the same name. I'm redoing my review b/c I bought the 2009 book and got re-routed to the wrong version.

The 2009 book is the TEXTBOOK. It has Harry Potter's notes "scribbled" in the margins. It's not a story; it's a very brief encyclopedia of magical creatures.

The 2016 book is the SCREENPLAY for the movie. Note: if you want to beef up the story, read Rowling's 4 Magic in America excerpts on Pottermore.com (for free). I think the lack of background and coming to care for the characters through a series of books is what made the movie seem wanting for some fans.

The 2017 book is a RE-RELEASED VERSION OF THE TEXTBOOK, and as I'm hearing (b/c I've only bought the first two), it doesn't have Potter's notes scribbled in it. It's sold formally with the 3 book Library set, which includes the Tales of Beedle the Bard and the History of Quidditch.

I hope this clears up the confusion! Happy Reading!

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them The Original Screenplay JK Rowling 9781338109061 Books Reviews

Reading a screen play was a new experience for me. I really think it enriched my experience and understanding of the film. It was very interesting to see the screenplay brought to life. The technology used in the film helped to bring the story to life and without it we may not have fully seen how richly the fantastic beasts added to the plot, characterisation and theme of the screenplay.
I would recommend this latest in J K Rowling's publications especially to people who want to see the film or have seen it as well as those whose interest was piqued like mine by the booklet she had written for a charity years ago. I thought the range of characters was wide enough and the main characters well drawn. There was an obvious tie in with the Harry Potter books but we got to see and understand more of Rowling's magical world and the depth of her imagination such as political insights.
It was okay. I didn't dislike it, but it wasn't thrilling either. I didn't like that it was written in a play script format. That just takes away from the whole story line in my opinion. Why they only released that version is beyond me. Wait for the movie, it should be better.
I did not read this until after I had seen the movie, so I had the visuals playing in my head as I read, down to Newt's awkward lovability and Jacob's wonder. Even without seeing the movie first, though, this screenplay gives you enough story to be able to appreciate the dangers of this new Wizarding world.
There's no denying how magical this is as much as the Harry Potter novels. In whatever form, this world created by JK Rowling will always be amazing. I can't wait for the rest of it!
The design of the book just awesome I love it. I watched the movie and reading the book it's like I'm watching it again. This would be a great book for anyone who's a fan.
This book is a written version of the movie. It is literally like reading the movie, with nothing extra. The book does give insight and depth to scenes in the movie, and gives appreciation to the actors who brought the characters to life.

With J.K. Rowling focusing on the movie in the writing on this screenplay, I believe allows the movie to be richer. As with many books, the Harry Potter movies were forced to rush you through the books with much editing to contain the movie to less than three hours.

This book is a reflection of what an excellent screen play should look like and exhibits J.K. Rowling's remarkable talent.

I suspect that the Fantastic Beast movie series will be as successful as the Harry Potter series and just as addicting.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this read. I don’t think I’ve ever read a screenplay before (aside from high school Shakespearean ones), so this was a new experience for me. At first, I found the rhythm a bit choppy and hard to get into. However, as the story progressed, the newness wore off a bit and the writing felt smoother. Because of the setup, the characters’ feelings and thoughts were only brushed upon, and therefore it was hard to connect with many of them.

Regardless of this, I really enjoyed Newt. He was sensitive and caring, especially towards his magical creatures. I found this really endearing and fell in love with his animals, too.

The pacing was fast and I was able to read this in two short sittings. It seemed like something was always happening. One of my favorite scenes was when Newt and newfound friend, Jacob, go into Newt’s case and see his animals. Though I already had an image of how this would look like, it was still magical to read about the varying creatures and how much Newt really loves them.

One thing I had tough time with was trying to not picture the movie while I was reading. I purposely waited to read the screenplay because I didn’t want to spoil the movie, but now I’m thinking I should’ve read the screenplay first so I can have my own idea how everyone looked and acted. In any case, I really enjoyed the movie, and this was basically the movie in print form. However, I could see this being problematic for those who don’t like to repeat. If you are one of those people, I would caution that the book and movie are basically the same.

Overall, I enjoyed this read, even though the format was something I wasn’t used to reading.

As a warning, there is mention of child abuse, which may be uncomfortable for some and inappropriate for the younger crowd.

I would recommend this fantasy screenplay to fantasy lovers, those who have enjoyed Harry Potter, and to those who don’t mind reading a screenplay.
