After what feels like forever, the first trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has arrived - and Harry Potter fans will be very pleased indeed.
The 1920s-set spin-off sees Eddie Redmayne's British wizard Newt Scamander getting into trouble over the pond and... well, we'll let the synopsis do the talking:
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.
"Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds."
In short, there are going to be some Fantastic Beasts, and Scamander is going to have to find them.
To get you even more excited about the upcoming magical movie, here's the first poster for the film:
