Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling-272 pages

I have seen both films and I read the first original screenplay, so I really wanted to read this one, also. It is interesting to read the screenplay and compare it to what is portrayed on/in the film. I enjoyed the second film and screenplay, but not as much as the first. The plot of The Crimes of Grindelwald is a bit scattered and more difficult to follow than the first Fantastic Beasts.

A movie based on this short book by Rowling is being released in theaters this fall, so I wanted to read the book. It is a fun read, if short. I especially enjoyed Harry's and Ron's notes in the margins, although I wish there were even more of them. It is cool to both learn even more about ones mentioned and discussed in the Harry Potter books and to learn about new beasts. Some of the names are interesting and remind me of Dr. Seuss and/or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I am kind of excited to see the movie, especially since Eddie Redmayne is playing the title character.
