The movie trailers from tonight's MTV Movie Awards keep coming in. The latest is a new video for the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by JK Rowling and starring Eddie Redmayne. This newest trailer sheds more light on the magical story that sees Redmayne's character, a magizoologist named Newt Scamander, travel to New York. Take a look:

Set in 1920s New York City, the movie was adapted by Rowling from her own 2001 novella. David Yates, who made the last four Potter movies, is directing, and Redmayne's co-stars include Colin Farrell, Katherine Waterston, Ezra Miller, and Samantha Morton.

Harry Potter veteran David Heyman is producing--and he has high hopes for the movie. "This film will appeal to all. It's funny, it's moving, it's thrilling," he said in January.

Fantastic Beasts comes to theaters in November 2016. Click the links below to watch other new trailers released during the MTV Movie Awards tonight.
