For the cast’s costumes, three-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood faced a very particular challenge: “The magic world is supposed to be hidden. So Newt, Tina, and Queenie have to look normal—but there’s something different about them.” Tina’s cloche hat, for example, has tiny little witchlike peaks, and her coat collar is oversized. […] Meanwhile, Newt’s clothes are almost all too big—“Eddie’s a very physical actor, so he has to be able to move,”
says Atwood—but the key part of his wardrobe is his teal tweed coat. (x)via
Fans waited for the stars at Leicester Square for long, despite the cold rainy weather
(my friends Cris and Daniela are in the bottom left corner of the picture)

"One of the things I loved about this script is that it stands alone as its own thing...
whether you're a Potter fan, or you've never seen a Potter film before.
Sometimes with franchises I feel like the first film can...it's all about setup
for the future, whereas this is a complete and whole film." (E.R.)
"By the end of this movie I think it's very clear to the audience...
where this story is going to go and how dark it's going to get.
So, although I hope they'll always be fun movies, because
there's so much fun to be had in this world. Yeah, I'm dealing
with some dark themes." (J.K. Rowling)
"I felt like I had very little in common with Newt, but there were qualities in his character I aspired to.
Like, I'm a massive worrier, and there's a line in this film in which he describes one of the other
characters 'That worrying means you suffer twice', and so it's become my mantra." (E.R.)
"The Potter films and the books were such an extraordinary phenomenon. But I just
love that world, and I hope that people will be pleased to dive back into it." (E.R.)
