FANTASTIC_BEASTS.jpg

I was really excited when Fantastic Beasts came out, because Harry Potter had come to an end and the pupils had loved the make-believe world of wizards and witches. Before Fantastic Beasts was released, I was curious about what J.K. Rowling was going to do next. I didn’t think she was done writing books altogether. Fantastic Beasts turned out to be a great read and satisfied my imagination with magic.

Fantastic Beasts, a fictional novel by J.K. Rowling, follows a magical young man named Newt on a journey to find his beasts that have escaped. Newt Scamander is a wizard unlike any other. He uses not only his powers but the powers of his magical animals. In Fantastic Beasts, Newt has lost some of his creatures and needs to find them before they wreak havoc on the regular people’s lives and more importantly before the truth about wizards being real is revealed to everyone. Newt meets lots of strange people, almost as fascinating as his beasts, and even befriends a person named Jacob on his journey.

Talking to the pupils the other day, one pupil wondered why J.K Rowling wanted her book to be designed in the format of a screenplay - maybe she thought it would make the characters feel more real and personal. I think that J.K. Rowling really got everything right with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, even down to the artwork, which creates very detailed imagery and gives you a sense of what she is thinking about when she makes these strange beasts.

The Library will be supporting the English topic in the spring term. I am so excited to tell you that KS3 pupils will have the opportunity to work using the Fantastic Beasts books, which will help awaken their imagination in the world of Myths. Stories such as Myths and Legends link us to our past and explain our relationships with the universe and our environment. They will be able to create their own myth stories and bring them to life through words and art.

We, at Muntham, are so looking forward to reading and seeing what mythical creations they come up with.
