Fantastic Beasts promises to reveal more magical creatures, like the dangerous Occamy, new interviews, and even author J.K. Rowling's thoughts on her first preview of the movie earlier this spring.
Alison Sudol, who plays American witch and MACUSA employee Queenie Goldstein, gave a bit of a teaser overview of the themes underlying the first movie, out this November.
Quote:
Alison Sudol: “There’s all kinds of things going on in our world right now concerning immigration and tensions between different groups.
