New Fantastic Beasts TV Spot Teases War and Monsters

The Harry Potter Wizarding world returns to movie screens this fall with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The more we see of this new film saga (set 70 years before the events of Harry Potter), the more whimsical and exciting it looks.

Today's TV spot throws a little less whimsy and a little more edge into the proceedings, teasing the more frightening of the titular "fantastic beasts." It also gives more hints about the possible war between wizards and muggles, as the revelation of mystical creatures running amok in early 20th century New York could push that divide to a breaking point.

Some recent promo materials for Fantastic Beasts have revealed more looks at some fantastic beasts (like the Majestic Thunderbird) - but more importantly, we've also learned more about the human characters in the film. If you want to learn more about beast collector/wizard Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and the supporting characters whom help (or oppose) him along his journey, be sure to check out the latest character images.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be in theaters on Nov. 18, 2016.
