Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them now has a main theme song!
Pottermore just released the track, which will be featured on the movie’s official soundtrack.
You can pre-order the soundtrack now via iTunes and Amazon, and it will be available for purchase on the same day the film hits theaters – November 18!
Composed by Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer James Newton Howard, the song will give fans a giant dose of nostalgia, as it features some of the classic bars from “Hedwig’s Theme.”
James reportedly spent seven months writing the 73-minute long soundtrack.
“You hear the main theme song of the movie play when the main crew arrive at the MACUSA the first time and various other times,” he told Pottermore. “You hear this haunting kind of theme. If you had to say what is the theme for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for now and in the future, it would be that theme. I wrote it on my piano because I believe that if that kind of thing is going to be good, it should be done that simply.”

Are you ready to read the third and final Magic in North America short story from J.K. Rowling?!
The Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) just dropped on pottermore.com and explores the roots of America’s secret wizarding governing body and is available exclusively
It also “reveals how MACUSA was formed and tracks the odyssey of its various headquarters as it moved from an enchanted edifice in the Appalachian Mountains to Williamsburg, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; and, finally, to New York City, where it was magically modified to be hidden from No-Majs (the American term for Muggles).”
In addition, The Magical Congress of the United States of America references the upcoming movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which hits theaters on November 18.
The Harry Potter prequel is set to hit theaters on November 18.
The film follows the adventures of Newt Scamander, who has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
Eddie Redmayne carries his special briefcase on the new Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them cover of Entertainment Weekly, which hits newsstands on August 12.
The Oscar-winning actor portrays magizoologist Newt Scamander, who “chases the mayhem-causing magical creatures that have escaped his briefcase and remain on the loose in 1926 New York.”
“There is a dark aspect to it,” Eddie said about the movie. “I think it’s going to be surprising how moving it is.”
His co-star Colin Farrell added, “[J.K. Rowling] could take a place like New York, a city we’re all familiar with, and present it in a way that’s recognizable yet brand-new. She pulls back the corner of the picture and shows you another world behind the veil.”
Mark your calendars – Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them drops into theaters on November 18.
