If you're among the ranks of those excited by Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (and we know there are one or two of you), you're probably happy to see anything that offers a new glimpse of the film. Good news! A behind-the-scenes video about the movie has now arrived.

Fantastic Beasts was adapted by J.K. Rowling herself from her 2001 book. Eddie Redmayne is starring as Newt Scamander, who plies his trade as a magizoologist around the world, and visits New York in this first adventure. The story takes place in 1926, years before Harry and the rest have their tangle with the dark forces of Voldemort. His case, a TARDIS-like storage system for the creatures he's found, ends up opening ("just a smidge") and unleashing chaos.

Redmayne’s joined in the cast by the eclectic likes of Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Jon Voight, Katherine Waterston, Samantha Morton, Gemma Chan, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Carmen Ejogo and Alison Sudol. With regular Potter director David Yates back overseeing things, Fantastic Beasts will be out in the UK on November 18. For an exclusive look at the film, head here.
