EVEN THE MAGICAL J.K. ROWLING NEEDS MUSIC

EVEN THE MAGICAL J.K. ROWLING NEEDS MUSIC
October 21, 2016 Tom Ito

Before Harry Potter, there was another world of magic with Eddie Redmayne.

The Hit House composers Scott Miller and William Hunt had just the right potion to ease the need for music in this Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, featurette. “Viserion” plays from 2:08-3:08 as the magical J.K. Rowling, Eddie Redmayne, and Colin Farrell explain the basis of the newest film based on Rowling’s 2001 novel.

In 1926 New York, Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, has just arrived. What was meant to be a short layover becomes a potential catastrophe as magical creatures are accidentally released, leading to chaos erupting between the No-Maj or Muggle world and that of the world of wizards and magic.

How will normal civilians react when confronted with the startling reality that magic is real? Well, The Hit House already found out as it’s a magical thing to have one’s music accompany the great J.K. Rowling’s own words. Find out for yourself and find the beasts in theaters on November 18.
