The wizarding world of J.K. Rowling is a getting a little bigger this year as Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will make it’s debut in theaters. Magical creatures will be unleashed onto the world and both wizards and muggles can’t wait to see the outcome.

Harry Potter fans are a creative bunch and well in advance of the movie they’ve already been busy conjuring up some amazing fan art dedicated to Nest Scamander and his crew. Take a look at some of our favorites but be sure to turn the lock back to Muggle worthy so no one’s the wiser.

Newt Scamander is already a fan favorite with cosplayers gathering up their blue peacoats and brief cases to have at the ready. This adorable little handmade Newt has his distinctive coat, vest, case, and wand—all prepped for his journey across the pond.

Fantastic Beasts Locket by DinoStories
There’s nothing quite like a good book and this tiny version of the Fantastic Beasts story is actually a locket that opens to reveal two secret photo compartments, allowing you to keep photos of beasts, or your children, close to your heart at all times.

The first so-called beast we got a good look at in the trailer was the Niffler and fans immediately fell in love. This sweet enamel pin has gold detailing, perfect considering Nifflers have a penchant for glittery things.

The other eye-opening moment of the trailer was Newt’s suitcase that had a very special “Muggle-Worthy” lock that made it easy to get in and out of customs with a case full of who knows what. This memorable image is captured in beautiful artwork that’s been placed on a phone case so that you can easily take your treasures with you, much like Newt.
