The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them co-stars discussed the new film and teased four new clips.

Eddie shared how he got wand tips from the original Harry Potter stars.

“I think probably to relax,” he told EW. “I hadn’t realized it, but subconsciously it’d been like, 33 years of drumroll to that moment � and so the nerves were pretty high when I picked up that wand. � I would say to myself, relax a bit. But we got quite into it, we went to these wand-work sessions, all of us, it was really funny.”

Fantastic Beasts opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander (Redmayne) 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.

Don’t forget – the film hits theaters on November 18. Watch the stream below:
