Learn about Newt's New York City! A travel/reference guide to the locations where the wizards, No-Majs and beasts in the hit movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them would have had their adventures in 1920s New York City. This guide explains how these sites are connected to the film and gives historical information about each of the sites.

A great gift for any fan of Fantastic Beasts, or anyone interested in New York City history regarding these locations, regardless of whether they ever intend to visit New York.
