Fantastic Beasts and where you won't find any

Welcome everyone for another unscheduled blog post.
Photos are finally arriving about the new Harry Potter trilogy: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. If the name rings a bell it is because FBAWTFT is one of the required books in Hogwarts. The new trilogy will supposedly chronicle Newt Scamander's research that lays the foundation for the book he will be famous for.

Except the movie will be set in New York City. London, Liverpool and a movie studio will be a stand in for 1920s New York.

Now there is some overlap between the habitat of the creatures in Scamander's book, but most of them only set foot on US soil if smugglers bring them there.

The places with more magical beasts than the entire North American Continent are the following: Eastern Europe, Britain, Asia, Africa, and Northern Europe. In fact Northern Europe has almost twice as many magical beasts as the US, Canada and Mexico combined. Oh and none of the creatures are indigenous to North America.

They pretty much picked the worst continent for finding fantastic beasts. And then decided to focus on one city on that continent.

Granted, the movie isn't out yet, and it will be the first installment of a trilogy but based on what we know. This won't be a good Potter movie. Then again, none of David Yates' Potter movies were.
