Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is one of the many franchises featured in LEGO Dimensions for Year 2. It is based on the film of the same name, which a prequel of the Harry Potter film series.
The year is 1926, and Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob Kowalski, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
The title itself is taken from a fictional textbook in the Harry Potter universe that details a large number of the mythical creatures in the Wizarding World.
In a list of leaked franchises from September 2015, Fantastic Beasts was labeled in a product code listing as FB.
This is one of three franchises in the game that is a sub-universe of another franchise, as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is associated with Harry Potter.
It is also the only one of these four franchises to be a sub-universe for another Year 2 franchise. The rest of them are all sub-universes of Year 1 franchises.
Beast Boy makes a reference to the franchise in the New Adventures Trailer when he says that he's "the Fantastic Beast Boy" but gets cut off as Newt captures him.
The film released the same day as Wave 7 released, November 18th, 2016
