We haven't got the chance to watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them yet, although the little Harry Potter fan inside me would really absolutely love to! But with 2 young kids and Fantastic Beasts carrying the PG13 rating, I might wait until the Blu-ray is out (it had to be Blu-ray of course for a fantastic movie like this!).
To quench my thirst, I've been enjoying some amazing Fantastic Beasts goodies sent to me by Warner Bros UK. The quality of all the products are amazing and will make any Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts fan really happy this Christmas! I just hope that my pictures are doing them justice, the Winter lighting has always been an issue for me!
We were sent:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Official 2017 Wall Calendar by Danilo Calendars
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Sticker Album and Stickers by Panini
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Poster Book by Scholastic
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Character Guide by Scholastic
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Colouring and Creativity Book by Scholastic
Harry Potter Gadget Decals by Paladone
My favourite had to be the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Sticker Album! I love collecting trading cards, but these stickers are even better because I get to stick them on the book (there is something about peeling and sticking that's really therapeutic).
To my surprise, it comes with 2 different covers. By folding the sticker album another way, it reveals a Harry Potter cover instead, and it comes with several pages of Harry Potter stickers and movie facts as well, making it a great collection for both Harry potter and Fantastic Beasts fans.
The prints are perfect using top quality paper and ink (colour and saturation) for the Fantastic Beasts' calendar, posters and character guide. I think the most intriguing item in fantasy stories are either ancient spell or history books, and maps! Although they take a small part of the whole story, it is what make a good fantasy story believable. So I was really excited to see a Fantastic Beasts map included in the box! I bet Clay will love it even more as he has a thing for maps (even if it's just a map to a theme park!)
The Fantastic Beasts Colouring Book is another one to look out for, because it's not just a colouring book! It also encourages fans to design something of their own.
Another one of my favourite, and will be kept all to myself is the Harry Potter Decals! They are so pretty, and it comes with 2 sheets of gold metallic ones! There are 27 waterproof and reusable decals, perfect to stick on gadgets or in my planner!
I'm really happy to have been sent the box of Fantastic Beasts goodies. It has certainly made me want to watch the movie more. Maybe I can convince my sister in law to go with me while the men look after the kids *grins*
