Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's Olympic trailer shows off more magical creatures

While it all looks pretty entertaining, my excitement level for Fantastic Beasts isn't all that high. With that said, having just re-read the Harry Potter books (in addition to the Cursed Child script), I'm curious to see what a J.K. Rowling movie that doesn't feature Harry Potter looks like.

Directed by David Yates and starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Gemma Chan, Ron Perlman, and Ezra Miller, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is scheduled to hit UK and US cinemas on November 18, 2016.
