The Fantastic Beasts books center on Newt Scamander, a Magizoologist who loves to help and collect rare magical creatures (a sort of Pokemon Master but in the Harry Potter universe). His travel to New York but will get interesting when all the magical beings he carries on his case escape all around the city, he must make sure he gets every single one of them in no time if he doesn’t want to get into trouble.

But what New Scamander would have never guessed is that he will get involved in one of the most tragical events in wizarding history: the rise of Gellert Grindelwald into power, a wizard who wishes to enslave muggles (seeing them as inferior creatures). For those who have read the HP books, you will already know who this man is, and how close he was to Dumbledore…

Also, while it might not seem so, the events in the 3 books of this trilogy are connected. Which means that you should read the Fantastic books in publication order.
