J.K. Rowling's universe is so enchanting, delightful, surprising, and fun. I knew I was going to enjoy Fantastic Beasts...how could I not? So imaginative, such an escape. Eddie Redmayne gives another incredible performance that makes me want to meet Newt Scamander. And that cute niffler creature...I want one!
Upon reflection, though, I'm deeply impressed by how Rowling writes about fear. Yes, her fairy tale stories are steeped in discussions of good versus evil and the all the greyness in between. But fear is a regular theme in her stories. It is always stemmed from uncertainty and a lack of understanding. Knowledge/education is always the answer and that makes me smile.
