Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

-

Calling all wizards, witches, muggles and magical creatures alike... The much anticipate­d new edition to the Harry Potter film series is here! Watch the midnight preview of the Harry Potter prequel, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, at Eden Cinemas on Friday 18 November at 00.01am – Thursday night!

Use your Time-Turner to travel back in time to the wizarding world of 1926 New York. Something mysterious is leaving a path of destructio­n in the streets, threatenin­g to expose the wizarding community to the Second Salemers, a fanatical faction of Muggles bent on eradicatin­g them.

Unaware of the rising tensions, Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne), arrives in the city to research and rescue magical creatures, some of which are safeguarde­d in the hidden pocket of his leather case. But disaster strikes, when Muggle Jacob Kowalski inadverten­tly lets some of Newt’s beasts loose in the city. This leads to the formation of the new unlikely group of heroes.

J.K. Rowling’s new fantasy film is the first instalment of a series of five films. The stellar cast stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Colin Farrell, Carmen Ejogo, Samantha Morton, Ezra Miller, Ron Perlman and Jon Voight.

For the opening weekend Eden Cinemas will be transformi­ng their theatres into a wizards dream. With themed props and decoration­s, there’ll be no better place to watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. From Friday until Sunday, all J.K. Rowling’s books will be on display and for sale, whilst giving all patrons the chance to win three hard back copies of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.

The Malta Bird Park have also organised a live owl show, which will be held in the cinema foyer on Saturday 19 November in between different screenings. All children will also be given a free admission ticket to the Malta Bird Park.
