After four long Harry Potter-less years, J.K. Rowling's magical world is almost back. Fans still have nearly a year to wait until the spinoff film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, debuts Nov. 18, 2016, but the first trailer out Tuesday gives a sneak peek. Featuring Eddie Redmayne as "magizoologist" Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts takes place 70 years before the Harry Potter series — in New York, no less — and is set to be the first film in a trilogy.
