This is a behind-the-scenes audio documentary, recorded on the set of the movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

“This film is a different beast.” (Eddie Redmayne)

Available only in audio, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Makers, Mysteries and Magic lifts the lid on the moviemaking secrets behind the latest installment in J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts series. Narrator Dan Fogler (who plays No-Maj Jacob Kowalski) will guide you through the process of creating the magical on-screen world and explore the story, themes, and characters of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Over 100 hours of interviews with the cast and crew have been used to create this unique audio adventure that’s sure to be loved by fans of filmmaking and the Wizarding World. Across its nine chapters, you will explore themes such as what’s next for Newt Scamander, whether we’ve seen every side of Albus Dumbledore, what makes Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald so dangerous, and what connects the worlds of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts.

With unrivalled access to the film’s cast, directors, producers, and makers, hear what it takes to build 1927 Paris on a lot just outside London, discover what influenced the design of the Elder Wand, meet the individuals who constructed iconic wizarding world locations including Hogwarts’ Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom - and mastered the craft and artistry required to fill it with authenticity and excitement.

With contributions from actors including Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander), Jude Law (Albus Dumbledore), Katherine Waterston (Tina Goldstein), and Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein) as well as director David Yates and producer David Heyman.

Give your eyes a rest and your ears a treat. Take a trip behind the scenes of the Wizarding World like never before.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I enjoyed it. It is a look behind the scènes of the Movies, the props, tailers… You get an insight of what Goes on while filming and it a lot you don’t realize or juist know about. Dan is a Good narrator.

This book is an audio documentary on the making of the movie, along with the history of the studio where this as well as all of the previous Harry Potter movies were made in the past years. It covers a lot of territory in its 12 Chapters, and is interesting in the fact that it uses musical quips and fills during the presentation, which would have been much more dull had those not been included, as they add the unseen dramatic effect to the presentation. Additionally, the narrator Dan Fogler, one of the cast members is both enthusiastic, excited, self-effacing, and narcissist, in other words an actor, in his narration and descriptions while covering the various areas and backgrounds of the sets, scenery, music, cast, and crew. However, the overall story while interesting wasn't worth the price. Documentaries like this are better served as a video. If they took this documentary and added visuals to it and released it as a follow-up to the movie that would be very interesting. As a written documentary, I stand by my three star rating.

It's Okay for a Documentary

It plays like an audio-only version of a really, really good DVD bonus feature. It goes into a LOT of depth into what it takes to make a film and features nice, in-depth interviews with the cast, the heads of various departments, and other crew members within those departments. It's mostly spoiler-free but not quite as spoiler-averse as the making-of book by Ian Nathan.

Also Dan Fogler seems to be having the time of his life narrating this and he makes it so interesting. There were a lot of times where I wished I could just WATCH this documentary instead of listening to it, but it's still very good. I wish it could've gone into a bit more depth on certain plot elements but it's good for what it is.

Good, a bit frustratingly spoiler free

Once I realized this would be a true behind the scenes narrative without any visual, I was a little bummed. What was I thinking??? However, this really was an enjoyable listen thanks largely in part to Dan Fogler who kept things interesting and humorous along the way. I just wish they would get Jacob a wand! 🤣Lol! ❤

I love Dan Fogler!

This audiophile is good for long train rides or plane flights but definitely wouldn't recommend for just listening to or listening in the tub or trying to fall asleep

It's a good listen
