2018年最让人期待的10部电影

While it wasn’t a direct sequel to the original Harry Potter franchise, the 2016 prequel (kind of) Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is set in the same wizarding world conjured in the mind of author J.K. Rowling. This gave it a sense of familiarity for Potter fans, and it helped the film be an immediate success. It made over $800 million at the box office and was nominated for (and won) a number of different awards.

尽管2016年电影《神奇动物在哪里》不是《哈利•波特》系列原作的延伸，但是这部前传的故事发生在J•K•罗琳所创造的同一个魔法世界。这会让哈利•波特的粉丝们有一种似曾相识的感觉，也帮助该片迅速取得了成功。这部电影票房狂收8亿美元，并获得了多个奖项或提名。

In addition to making a pretty penny, the film was actually pretty decent, considering none of the usual Potter characters are really in it. The unnamed sequel is set to release in late 2018 and will feature an expanded cast and is sure to be as good (if not better) than the original. Potter fanatics were thrilled to learn that Jude Law has been cast as a young Albus Dumbledore and that Johnny Depp will reprise his cameo role as Gellert Grindlewald. The setting also shifts back to the UK and Paris, instead of the United States like the original. Rowling has hinted that she has ideas for a total of five Fantastic Beasts films to fill in the Potterverse backstory, so this could be just the beginning.
