“Fantastic Beasts” Roundup: The One with the Magazine Covers!

by Sophie Reid · October 24, 2016

There’s under a month to go now until November 18, and here at MuggleNet we all wish we had a magical way of speeding up time so that we can see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them right away. But that’s not possible, and so instead we’ll content ourselves with the latest news from the wizarding world.

First up, for those of you who are IMAX fans, it’s good news. Warner Bros. and IMAX have partnered up for another 12 films, including the second Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film.

This extension includes titles from some of the industry’s most acclaimed filmmakers, such as our friends Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, David Ellison, David Heyman and David Yates. The WB/Imax pairing has yielded billions of dollars in box office and has become synonymous with blockbuster entertainment around the globe.

You can learn more details here.

Empire magazine revealed two special covers. Firstly, a limited edition general release cover with a magical moving front cover. Empire’s editor-in-chief said,

We love to innovate and constantly push the envelope creatively. Our friends at Warner Bros. Pictures were the perfect partner for our most ambitious idea yet – making the cover move. Our readers are going to be desperate to get their hands on a copy and see the new world of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them brought to life.

One video will feature a behind-the-scenes tour, and the other will feature the latest trailer. The magazine will be released exclusively in Sainsbury’s on October 27 in the UK, and 5,000 copies will be available.

Empire also revealed a special subscriber’s cover, featuring the Thunderbird. Check it out below.
