[ISLMA-Share] Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

They are completely different works.  The screenplay follows the fictional
author Newt Scamander as he arrives in NYC with a suitcase full of
fantastic beasts.  The story introduces several characters and an entire
plotline in NYC.

The BOOK titled Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a "textbook"
that Harry Potter and his friends study at Hogwarts.  It is basically a
listing of a lot of different beasts.  No plot, no story. The textbook was
written by a fellow named Newt Scamander (see the connection?).

Hope this helps!
