FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM is a fantasy adventure film, set in 1920s New York, in which a wizard becomes involved in a battle against dark forces that threaten the city.

Threat

There are scenes in which dark forces threaten or kill human characters, some of which include brief focus on dead humans' faces. In one scene, a woman sentenced to death is shown visions of her past to try to force her to die. There are also some intense scenes in which dark forces threaten and destroy parts of the city; however, these are neither frequent nor sustained.

There are some verbal references to physical child abuse and corporal punishment. The film also contains some mild bad language (eg 'bugger', 'hell').
