I loved the fact that having watched the movie before the book, I was able to visualise the characters, especially the fantastic beasts vividly! I just loved it! It took awhile to get used to Modesty & Chastity, but the screenplay and the commentary helped to understand the plot a little better than from watching the movie. All the characters are just that little bit more approachable when you read them instead of making a guess over the movie.. Loved it!
