However, it’s about time. After all, “Harry Potter” belongs to one of the most successful film and literature series in the world.
The film series is about the story of a young wizard named Harry. He goes to school at Hogwarts, where he and his friends learn magic. Together with his friends, Harry has to face great challenges. And with every challenge mastered in a school year, the darkness of its past draws closer.

However, “Harry Potter” does not end there. Both parts of the film series “Fantastic Beasts” will also be released on Netflix from next month.
The films are like the prelude to the Harry Potter stories, in which the magic zoologist Newt Scamander plays the leading role. He has a suitcase full of magical, curious animal creatures that do all sorts of mischief on his trip to New York.
At the same time, however, unusual incidents are occurring in the city. And when Newt’s animals are blamed for this, the magician realizes that there is something much dark and powerful behind it. This creature itself and the entire world is threatened with a great disaster, which Newt tries to prevent.
But a certain magician gets in his way.
