As every fan of the Harry Potter stories knows, the shelves of the Hogwarts Library are home to all sorts of fascinating books. There are three in particular you might have heard mentioned by certain Hogwarts students and that you can add to your listening list too, including Quidditch Through the Ages. Maybe you dream of catching the elusive Golden Snitch to the sound of deafening cheers all around you, as a certain Harry Potter once did. Or perhaps, like Hermione Granger, your thirst for knowledge is somehow just never quite satisfied.

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Great for true fans!
It was a really insightful behind the scenes of the movies. Though they said there was no direct spoils, I very much recommend seeing both the Fantastic Beasts prior to not have any details wrecked for your viewing experience. Great job by Dan Fogler as well on the narration he kept it very interesting and was very funny and entertaining.

Read the reviews. Know before you buy!💖
I read before purchasing the book. I did, and it saved the day! This is NOT the novel I wanted. This IS an entertaining look behind the scenes. All the complaints were valid, unless you actually wanted an entertaining behind the scenes look. Ok, Mr Foglers’ voice becomes a bit tiresome at times, as is the long wait between chapters. But, I enjoyed it overall! Now where is the Novel??!!

It's Really Not Bad!
I almost didn't get this based on the reviews. Dan Fogler was a little obnoxious, but didn't ruin it, and I thought the music was wonderful. Exactly as the description states, "A Behind the Scenes Documentary". It was informative, and I had to go back and watch the movie again.

Great content, strange editing choices
The content was mostly interesting! I loved hearing all the background info about the costumes and major props used in the film. I did not like the longer pauses in the audiobook, where there were stretches of music between Dan's commentary. I also did not like the lower toned music used in certain parts, like in ch8 I think it was, when talking about Grindelwald. The lower toned background music is distracting especially since I listen on headphones, so I have it cranked up to hear the voices clearly, and the lower toned background music was overwhelming.

NOT A BOOK!
What a disappointment! Maybe I didn't read thoroughly the description; maybe I bought too quickly; maybe I simply assumed too much! Still,explain how one "tours behind the scenes" AUDIBLY??? This MAY WELL BE an amazing VIDEO special about the making of this 2nd 'Fantastic Beasts ' movie... But I found it gravely lacking as an AUDIO presentation. It felt like I was listening to a montage of the 'extras' one gets when purchasing a DVD... Who thought this would retail well as an AUDIBLE???? 1. I was honestly expecting a book version of the story... My mistake! 2. I found the narrator too cheeky, too animated for an audio rendition. His verbal 'schtick' was often hard to track and overplayed. 3. Often, the person speaking was not identified; and while I certainly recognize David Yates' name, his voice is not one I readily recognize without minimal introduction, even repeatedly (sorry, David). 4. Lastly, Ms. Rowling has certainly learned her way around the entertainment industry; so much so, that the very thing that drew us to her writings has been eliminated! The elaborate character development and interpersonal relationships she weaved so well... which thoroughly pulled us into the 'wizarding world' -- has been eliminated for a fast track to the big screen! At least her play, The Cursed Child, was given to us as a screenplay... Yet, that was a verbatim script with some stage direction side notes. 'Beasts' just went straight to the Red Carpet! I enjoy the adaptations, the movies... But I wanted a book! I wanted more of what J.K. Rowling built her repression on: in-depth character development!!! Instead I got ONLY THE AUDIO of a 'behind the scenes' television special and I feel cheated. Counting this month's Audible Credit as wasted. I heartily suggest you listen to a sample before you buy.... I preordered ----- a mistake I'll not soon forget.

A very good surprise: A must have for nerdy obsessive Potterheads
I've been an obsessive Potterhead for the last 17 years, I only buy films in BluRay for the bonuses; I am completely the audience this audiobook was targeting.
You could imagine that an audio making off would be boring but absolutely not. Dan Fogler not only explains and introduces the people who took part in the making of this film but he also "plays" the narrator and can't help praising the beauty of Jacob. There is a lot of humor in this audiobook which is a thing you usually don't expect in a behind-the-scene documentary.
The quality of the sound is really good. As most of the people are being interviewed on the set or in their workshops, you can sometimes here background noises when people from the Arts department or Construction department. Surprisingly, these sounds are not bothering and make you really feel like you were there, on the set or next to it. Even without the images, it is possible to visualise every detail of the make up, costumes and props. I couldn't have imagined it would be so much fun to listen to.
The music used in between the "cut scenes" fits perfectly the atmosphere of the movies. You can hear the care taken to cater this audiobook.
A must have for Potterheads.
