Nice history lessons of the magical world for muggles. Dan Folger does an awesome job of detailing all the behind the scenes of the different depts coustume design and development of the wands for each character and why they chose that design as well as the concept of and fruition of the additional beasts. The actors take part in discussing the development of their characters. And it’s Dan Folger for goodness sakes I found myself laughing out loud in the car. At first I was disappointed that it wasn’t the actual book, but got over it quickly.Should have been free and released well before the film This was clearly originally designed as marketing to be listen to BEFORE the movie came out. They don't talk about any of the twists or plot turns and say you will have to watch the film to find out what actually happens (even for something as trivial as why Dumbledore casts a fog spell in London, which is just to hide his meeting with Newt, which is already in the trailers!). It is an extended ad that should have been a series of free featurettes to get hyped about the film. $30 is insane and they should be ashamed.
