'Fantastic Beasts' Eddie Redmayne greets the Philippines as the film hits the cinemas this November!
Here's a little trivia about Scamander:
Unlike Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, he got expelled from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Eventually, he joined the Ministry of Magic in the [Office for House-Elf Relocation] (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Office_for_House-Elf_Relocation) for two years before he transferred to the [Beast Division] (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Division). By 1918, [Augustus Worme] (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Augustus_Worme) of Obscurus books commissioned him to write the textbook, "*Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*" — and it's history ever since!
at the chance both to augment my pitiful salary of two Sickles
a week and to spend my holidays travelling the globe
in search of new magical species."

Another fun trivia: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is Rowling's first screenplay which makes the film more exciting — and, probably, more magical than ever!

Six years after J.K. Rowling's last novel of the Harry Potter (HP) series (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) has been adapted into a two-part film, she's now set to release another adaptation for her 2001 book, "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" this year!

[HP fans are ridiculously excited] (https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=fantastic%20beasts&src=typd) since the book-turned-film of the same name is Harry Potter's textbook that was mentioned in the very first novel of Rowling, "*Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone*".
The textbook details *magizoology* and magical creatures. It was a standard textbook at the Hogwarts since 1927.

The new hero of Rowling is the author of the magnificent textbook itself, who is Newton Artemis Fido "Newt" Scamander — and he will be played by Eddie Redmayne!
Scamander is a *magizoologist*. A Magizoologist, also known as the "wizarding naturalist", is the person who studies magical creatures under the field, *Magizoology*.

observed the curious habits of magical beasts in a hundred countries,
witnessed their powers, gained their trust and, on occasion,
beaten them off with my travelling kettle.*"
—Newton Scamander
Transfiguration professor Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, has also commended Scamander's textbook
"Newt's masterpiece has been an approved textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ever since its publication and must take a substantial amount of credit for our students' consistently high results in [Care of Magical Creatures] (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Care_of_Magical_Creatures) examinations — yet it is not a book to be confined to the classroom," said Dumbledore.
"**No wizarding household is complete without a copy of Fantastic Beasts**, well thumbed by the generations who have riffled its pages in search of the best way to rid the lawn of Horklumps, interpret the mournful cries of the Augurey, or cure their pet Puffskein of drinking out of the toilet," added Dumbledore, according to [Harry Potter wiki] (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them).
