Celebration

It was my friend's birthday and we wanted to celebrate by going to the cinema.

Free tickets for the Irish Premier of Fantastic Beasts were presented and off we went.

There was even an invitation to dress up as characters relating to Harry Potter sagas... would we?

We did, at least modestly.

The venue was the Savoy cinema in O'Connell street, bringing back memories of youthful trips to the flicks!

We arrived early to find ourselves among almost five hundred other persons... was this a children's film made especially for adults?  On being presented with 3D glasses we knew we were in for a treat.

A short preview by the leading actors assured us that we were onto a winner in entertainment.

The adventures began immediately as we were transported into New York city in the twenties where some beast or black magic was wreaking havoc on the city.

A young English man with a peculiar suitcase containing strange creatures came on the scene and I was lost into the movie especially when some of these flying weirdos seem to come straight at me.

Was it real or just 3D?

Plenty of excitement and laughs.  Definitely a film to be immersed into and enjoyed.

There is a sequel coming???  Great!

God bless the writer and the film makers for their creative imagination.
