'Fantastic Beasts': The First Harry Potter Adaptation Movie Won Its First Oscar

Given that the Harry Potter movie series is the second biggest franchise of all time, and stretches at nine movies, now, it's hard to accept as truth that the franchise has never been awarded an Oscar in any category, until now. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, while the not firmly adaptation of Harry Potter movie, is still a part of the franchise and beloved by Potter heads the world over. It's also the movie that finally picked up an Oscar for Best Costume Design, awarded to Colleen Atwood.

J.K. Rowling's Novel Legacy

New York 1920, it is the start of the novel Wizarding World of J.K. Rowling's creation, Fantastic Beasts costumes were highly conventional and really ruled over the eyes of the audiences on screen. Designated smithereens worn by the four leading characters are currently on display at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in the U.K., and they make out detailed, motivating, and stunning display, expressly seeing the detail of Queenie's gowns up close. It's unquestionably a very well earnt award, but it's yet surprising that it's the first win for any of Rowling's work, specifically considering it's the 13th time any of the Harry Potter movies has been nominated. Hapless for some, but not for Atwood or Fantastic Beasts, it may seem.

When Variety stated to Atwood that she was the first Harry Potter associated winner, she was astounded to learn of the fact:

"That's shocking. There's so much incredible artistry in the 'Harry Potter' movies. I think maybe the fact that this movie, J.K. Rowling's creation, is set in the 1920s, which keyed off a different visual sense, is the obvious thing."

Harry Potter Fans Give A Push To Achieve This Award

If fan desire was deserving of an award, then certainly the Harry Potter fan-domination would be in the fierce debate. Fantastic Beasts took fans back in time and told a story that will only be roughly connected to Harry Potter in succeeding movies, but fans still took it to heart, thanks in part to honest, truthful performances from Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone, Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein, Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, and Alison Sudol as Queenie Goldstien.

Everything will echo their roles in successive movies, though to what range is not known, given that there are four more Fantastic Beasts movies to come, which will focus on the rise of the Dark Wizard, Grindelwald. The time scenery is two years after the periodical of Newt's Fantastic Beasts book when Newt is back in Britain. The chapter will also hop across the channel, to Paris. The potentials for more excellent costumes are ceaseless, so we might just see Fantastic Beasts achievement at the Academy Awards again in the future.
