Rowling invites you to explore a new era of the Wizarding World . . . 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. A feat of imagination and featuring a cast of remarkable characters and magical creatures, this is epic adventure-packed storytelling at its very best. Whether an existing fan or new to the wizarding world, this is a perfect addition for any film lover or reader's bookshelf. *** Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is available now! *** Review: Fantastic beasts book - Brought as a carry on for a book reading grandson aged 9 years old who loves reading books. Review: Screenplay V's Novel - Okay, must have, for all who love anything slightly, in any way, connected to the magical world of 'Potter'. But ,and for me a big but, why a screen play script? Screen play scripts are interesting to have and read but they are not novels. Usually the novel, or at least the story, comes first and they decide to make a movie or a stage play of it so employ a screen play or script writer, who may be the original author or someone working with same or not, to turn it into a movie or stage play. Sometimes a producer will have an outline of a story and go straight to script/screen writer thus bypassing the novel and then later when the play/movie as proved to be a hit someone will rewrite it as a novel. But which ever way round the script/screen play is never intended for public consumption and only classics like Shakespeare become freely available for the public to read. It just seems lazy that J.K. Rowling as come up with two new story ideas for the magical universe of Potter and gone straight to production of one a play and the other a movie without first giving us the benefit of letting us read either of them as novels or at least in prose first. So what; we still get the story, why do we need them as novels? You may ask. Well scripts are just directions for the director, the set designers and actors to follow. The script just gives the out lines for the other artist to add their colour and interpretation to. Shakespeare scripts work as in Shakespeare it's what is said, the philosophy, the beauty of the language and poetry of the speech that matters more than the imagery and so work just as well on radio as in the visual medium. The novel or story using prose. Is coloured by the author, the author shares their emotion for the story and it's protagonists with the reader, they set the scenes using words like a painter uses colour and generate atmosphere in the reads imagination. Yes you get the story, but most of us can tell a story, it takes an author to give a story life and soul and I feel, maybe you disagree and I would be keen to hear your take on it, but I feel short changed by just getting the scripts of these two new stories. I've nothing against screen plays and scripts; they are academically interesting to have; however I'd much prefer a proper novel to settle down and absorb my imagination in reading. ## Features - A good option for a Book Lover - Condition : Good - Easy to read text ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 30,600 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 19 in Performing Arts Books for Young Adults 27 in Drama for Young Adults 73 in Contemporary Fantasy for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 15,963 Reviews | ## Images ![Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Vaku0QCPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic beasts book *by D***. on 13 December 2025* Brought as a carry on for a book reading grandson aged 9 years old who loves reading books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Screenplay V's Novel *by R***Y on 18 November 2016* Okay, must have, for all who love anything slightly, in any way, connected to the magical world of 'Potter'.

I was initially put off by the idea of reading a screen play. I could see mixed reviews - most were positive, but others spoke of their disappointment of this story not taking the form of a novel. However, I feel the transition that Rowling has made to writing screenplays is a masterstroke. Anyone who read the Harry Potter series and loved it, could not have failed to have been disappointed at the omissions made when transferred to the Big Screen. If I as a mere reader had these feelings, then it is certain that Rowling must have too. What better way to avoid this disappointment, than write the film yourself. I have watched the first 10 minutes of the film, and had to stop, as I didn't want to spoil the book - because they are exactly the same. My message to any potential buyers - this is a great story, it is an unusual way of reading the story for most, but very easy to get in to and well worth the read! ## Frequently Bought Together - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay [Paperback] Rowling, J.K. - Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald – The Original Screenplay - Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore – The Complete Screenplay (Fantastic Beasts, Book 3) (Harry Potter) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/72287254-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them-the-original-screenplay](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/72287254-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them-the-original-screenplay) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
