Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is the latest addition to the hugely successful Harry Potter franchise. Starring Eddie Redmayne, Fantastic Beasts is a prequel to the Harry Potter saga and is set to be a huge event following its release to the big screen on 18th November.

When Magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York, he intends his stay to be just a brief stopover. However, when his magical case is misplaced and some of Newt’s fantastic beasts escape, it spells trouble for everyone . . .

Inspired by the original Hogwart’s textbook by Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original screenplay marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, author of the beloved and internationally bestselling Harry Potter books.

Check out the official web site here; the screenplay is released as a book in November, with a new edition of the companion book following in March 2017.

These new Harry Potter items join a range that includes Captain Scarlet, Doctor Who (some created by ace Doctor Who artist Mike Collins), DC Comics heroes, Star Wars and more. Here’s a small sampling of what they have on offer. Check out the full range at gbposters.com or using this link on Amazon.co.uk
