EDDIE REDMAYNE stars in this 1920-set Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (tomorrow, ITV, 7.30pm).

He is British magizoolog­ist Newt Scamander who arrives in the Big Apple, carrying an enchanted suitcase full of endangered critters. So, it’s a very bad time for a non-magical baker called Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) to accidental­ly pick up Newt’s luggage and release otherworld­ly species in breach of the Statute of Secrecy.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a visually sumptuous – if often surprising­ly bleak – fantasy, with a charming lead performanc­e from Redmayne.
