With only 8 days to go until its global release, Warner Bros. has released a new pair of television spot and a clip from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The clip begins with Jacob Kowalski asking his magical friends, "Is there a school? A wizardry school here in America?"

"Of course," Queenie replies. "Ilvermorny. It's only the best wizard school in the world.

Newt chimes, "I think the best wizarding school in the world is Hogwarts."

Queenie quickly quips,"Hogwash."

At the beginning of the year, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed that there are 11 schools registered with the International Confederation of Wizards. At that time, she named four of them. One of them was Ilvermorny, the American School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Six months later, new details about Ilvermorny were provided, revealing that it was founded in the seventeenth century by a pureblood Irish wizard named Isolt Sayre, stands atop the highest peak of Mount Greylock, and is concealed from the No-Maj population (North American Muggles) via powerful enchantments that sometimes manifest in "a wreath of misty cloud."

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter blockbusters. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them also stars Katherine Waterston (Steve Jobs, Inherent Vice) as Tina; Tony Award winner Dan Fogler (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) as Jacob; Alison Sudol (Dig, Transparent) as Tina's sister, Queenie; Ezra Miller (Trainwreck) as Credence; two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Lowdown) as Mary Lou; Oscar winner Jon Voight (Coming Home, TV's Ray Donovan) as Henry Shaw, Sr.; Ron Perlman (the Hellboy films) as Gnarlack; Carmen Ejogo (Selma) as Seraphina; Jenn Murray (Brooklyn) as Chastity; young newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty; and Colin Farrell (True Detective) as Percival Graves.

Warner Bros. Pictures has slated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for worldwide release in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX on November 18, 2016.
