The Harry Potter spin-off looks like it's going to be a cracker.

You'll have to wait until the end of the year for its release, but Colin Farrell's new film has an air of brilliance about it, just from watching the preview below. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is written by J.K. Rowling herself and directed by David Yates, who helmed a number of the Harry Potter movies, and is set in a magical world in 1920s America. Colin Farrell appears as Percival Graves, a wizard who meets Newt Scamander, played by star of the show, Eddie Redmayne.
