Author J.K. Rowling takes her magical universe stateside as the movie opens up in 1926 New York. The film’s synopsis reads “The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York’s secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school.” Gone is the world muggle and now wizards will be using the term No-Maj, which is pronounced as ‘no madge’ aka no magic.
