I'm going either tonight or tomorrow. But I was just trying to find an article about one of the characters and the one I clicked on completely SPOILED the ending with no spoiler alert. I am so mad!
DD has just started the Harry Potter series. She's 10. Would this movie make sense to someone who has never read the books or should she read those first?

I can't WAIT to take K. H is pumped for it too.
We're nearly through the second book (Colin just got Petrified) and I don't think it will be a problem.
I was searching Amazon for the Fantastic Beasts/Quidditch Thoughout the Ages set, because I don't know where mine are. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THEY ARE NOW

I have already reserved seating for our date night tomorrow. I was having trouble deciding between the this or Doctor Strange. Dr Strange looked too much like the Matrix but I want to still see it eventually.

Hmm, this is tricky. There are lots of references to stuff that HP introduced. Maybe be prepared for questions?
My DH was out of town 3 weeks in a row and I told him last week that he owes me some time off. I know what I'm doing on Sunday! Fantastic Beasts at Alamo Drafthouse!
I saw it last night by myself at DH's insistence. I haven't read the book nor have I seen any of the HP movies in years but it was great. Very well done and visually gorgeous. Definitely see it in the theatre if at all possible!

All you "I've never seen a movie or read a book" do not go to Harry Potter World and stand in the 90 minute line for Forbidden Journey saying this or I will contemplate hexing you.
A whole lot of muggles almost got hexed the first time I went, my blood pressure can't handle it.
Is it OK for kids? On line with Star Wars (as far as intensity)?
I took my 6yo to Force Awakens, but he'll be sitting Fantastic Beasts out.
There's some violence against kids/teens that I don't think he could handle. And it's "real" cruelty not blasters & then a Storm trooper falls down. The setting is more "real" than Star Wars. It's more like Deathly Hallows level of darkness without Ron's humor or the touching bound of the Trio to have some light.
Is the Fantastic Beast book(s?) good? I haven't read those.
To be clear, I have read the full HP series several times over and am in the middle of re-reading it right now. I just never bothered with the "spin off" books.

Fantastic beasts is really cute but it reads more like an encyclopedia or textbook.
