# Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Parent Guide This fantasy adventure is appropriate for most children 13+, featuring magical action and mild language but no sexual content. Some battle scenes and creature encounters may frighten younger or sensitive children, though nothing graphic. The complex plot works best for children who enjoy the Harry Potter films.

Synopsis

In 1926, Newt Scamander arrives at the Magical Congress of the United States of America with a magically expanded briefcase, which houses a number of dangerous creatures and their habitats. When the creatures escape from the briefcase, it sends the American wizarding authorities after Newt, and threatens to strain even further the state of magical and non-magical relations.
