A 2016 film based on the 2001 book of the same name, whose main protagonist is Newt Scamander, a magician who turns up in 1920s New York with a suitcase full of fantastic beasts. The book contains a variety of beasts many of which are taken from mythology and folklore. An example is the Grindylow, which come from tales from Yorkshire and Lancashire and are connected to Grendel, one of the antagonists in the poem Beowulf, often cited as the most famous work of Old English literature. Merseyside-born director David Yates directs.
