Last night during the MTV Movie Awards, actor Eddie Redmayne emerged from a (no doubt magical!) suitcase on stage to introduce the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! The first film in the new Harry Potter spin-off trilogy, Fantastic Beasts features Redmayne as Newt Scamander, a wizard and collector of creatures who finds himself in 1920s New York on a brief stopover. Some of his fantastic beasts escape, and he must return them to his magical suitcase before they wreak havoc in the wizarding and No-Maj (American for Muggle!) worlds.
Need more magic? Pottermore has a thorough breakdown of the trailer and how elements of it should be familiar to those who've spent time in the magical world of Harry Potter.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits theaters November 18!
