This was me the whole movie:

I missed The Wizardry World so very much and I'm so very happy it's back. Hearing the music again, but slightly different, gave me butterflies and a warm happy feeling and the movie hadn't even started and I was feeling emotional already.


Newt 'clicked' for me very quickly. I liked his endearing awkardness and his quiet sense of humor.  (Definitely noticed JKR's style humor from the start and it made me very happy)

Jacob's intro was also very endearing and his enthusiasm for his bakery and initial failure made me root for him instantly (his humour worked well opposite's Newts)

Tina definitely had the "Are You sure that's the right spell?/You're going to get us in trouble!" Hermione-like bossy-ness which was a little off-putting, but I liked the banter she had with Newt, and it definitely reminded me a bit of Romione which was a plus.

Also the movie worked really well in showing her motivations and making her sympathetic. 

(Felt real bad for her when she's been dismissed by Madam President over and over, and then later scowled by her boss)

I was afraid that the Second Salemers were going to be like Laura Mallory,but fortunately it wasn't the case, Barebone even came across as a little sympathetic in her first scenes? (the sympathetic died down instantly when her scenes with Credence came on. And the scenes at the Second Salemers building were really creepy. Those anti-witchcraft rhymes gave me chills) I felt so bad for Ezra Miller Credence throughout the movie. 

The scene at the Goldstein's apartment was great. 
I wasn't sure about Queenie based on the clips we've seen, but her interaction with Tina and her easy chemistry with Jacob won me over.

(I loved when they conjured up the Apple Struddle. It was magical to watch and it made me very hungry)

It was so sweet to see Jacob try to get Newt to be more sociable ("Look Mr. Scamander, Cocoa!") and the theater gave a big laugh at Newt going into the Case and Jacob's laugh (Dan Fogler has great comedic timing)

When Newt shows Jacob the creature sanctuary inside his case was definitely my favorite scene in the whole film. Jacob's sense of Awe was very accurate. The scene was so full of the "Harry Potter Magic" and I got very emotional watching it, smiling from ear to ear. (also favorite score piece in the film too) 
I love the Weather Bird (I know it's called something else but that's kind of controversial) and the Bowtruckles. and the Occamys.
But my favorites were the Niffler and the Mooncalfs (which looked so adorable). I also love that we've seen a Fwooper, that was one of my favorite Beasts reading Newt's guide. Hope we see a Puffskein and a Kelpie in future movies. 

I loved seeing Newt and Jacob working together and starting to become friends. I loved Jacob's reasons for wanting to have a Bakery, it was so sweet.

The scenes of them recapturing the Niffler and the Erumpert were hilarious and I enjoyed them a lot. 

I liked seeing all those foreign wizards and Newt's entrance was priceless. but I really didn't liked Madam Piquery at all, which is dissapointing because the actress looked great. 

I thought nothing could be scarier than the dementors and then the Obscurus raised the bar. All the scenes involving felt right out of a horror movie. 

Loved! Queenie taking charge and using her abilities to perfectly work out the rescue of Newt & Tina and I loved how she considered Jacob 'one of them' without a second thought. 

The escape scene was awesome, specially seeing Newt and Tina finally working together and seeing Tina's humor come out. 

I was so scared that they were going to get caught and then laughed at how easy Queenie tricked Tina's boss into letting her leave. 

The little bonding scene between Queenie/Jacob and Newt/Tina on the roof was very cute. I liked seeing softer attitude quick-thinker Tina, and seeing her be in awe of Newt's creatures instead of seeing them as dangerous/nuisance. 

The scene at the Wizardry Speakeasy was very cool, but I wish it had been longer. Jacob had a lot of great moments, specially when he punched Gnarlak before they escaped the MACUSA Auror ambush. 

The scene at the department store was so much fun and I loved seeing all of them work together to capture the Occamy. 

After Graves turned on Tina, I wasn't too surprised he would turn on Credence, and while I kind of guessed the twist it was still a very chilling scene. Ezra Miller was terrifying in it. (I felt very bad for Modesty though, and I hope she's ok, and wonder if we'll see her again). 

Newt and Tina trying to help/save Credence got me very emotional and Credence getting killed on Piquery's order made me very upset. 

I admit I was spoiled on the Graves reveal but it still looked cool. (I'm 'meh' on their choice of Grindewald because it's not a character I cared for at all, even if he's really important.) 
(I'm more worried about who they'll pick for Dumbledore and I hope they don't go for the obvious one. I want someone we don't expect but who has Dumbledore's powerful presence- Hugo Weaving maybe?)

The scene where Newt releases Frank and it flies all over New York spreading the obliviate venom was a great scene. Loved the music and cinematography in it. 

I didn't saw the scene with Jacob coming at all, and I felt so betrayed by the movie. I sobbed through the whole scene, made worse by how well Dan Fogler portrayed Jacob's heartbreak.

But I loved the goodbye kiss between Queenie and Jacob. It was magical and romantic, even if it was very sad. 

Thankfully, the scene afterwards made me feel so much better for Jacob. They helped him get his Bakery, which was a success and it's clear that Jacob didn't conmpletely forgot based on those adorable pastry creatures and the look on  his face when he sees Queenie walk in, which was so sweet. (Looking forward to see their relationship developing in the future). 

so I'm relieved that it seems he'll be back in the sequel.

The goodbye between Newt and Tina was sweet and adorable. the way they looked at each other, specially the beautiful way Tina smiled at Newt, Here they finally 'clicked' for me as a couple.

I'm glad to know they're endgame and that we will see their relationship bloom in the future movies, because otherwise Newt leaving without kissing Tina, which the scene seem to imply he was going to, would have been very frustrating. 

That being said Tina's little happy skip was adorable.

Overall I loved the movie so much. It left me with the same happy warm giddy feeling of the Harry Potter movies and I'm so happy we'll have five movies to get to know more of Newt,Tina, Queenie and Jacob. (JKR confirmed they'll remain the leads so that's reassuring because I loved them). 

the wait for the next movie is so long though. I hope she posts stuff in between to help us cope.
