Fantastic Beasts ROASTED
No, not literally. I’m talking about the movie. As you may have read in the Hopes & Fears article, we had such high hopes for this movie. Now that many of you have probably seen it, it’s time to discuss the actual film. You may have figured this out for yourself, but that means SPOILER ALERT!!

For sensitive fanboys- and girls, being prepared when you enter that cinema may prevent disappointment and utter despair before the credits start rolling…
