On November 18th, over five years after the release of the final chapter of Harry Potter’s story, a new film was released, to the delight of millions of fans around the globe. “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is the story of Newt Scamander, a magizoologist who visits NYC over sixty years before the beginning of the Potter books. This crossword was created in honor of this new story within the Harry Potter universe, and in celebration of the seven books that came before.

Please note that this crossword is based off of the books, rather than the films, so it may be very difficult for those who were strictly moviegoers.
