“Fantastic Beats And Where To Find Them” (*** out of four) was a splendid spin-off of the “Harry Potter” series set 70 years prior as writer Newt Scam anderson (Eddie Redmayne) attempts to defeat an evil force (Colin Farrell) among NYC’s secret community of witches and wizards. Overlong but nicely done and is loaded with startling effects and features sweet moments through-out. Redmayne is terrific but you may have to look hard to see Johnny Depp in a supporting role.
