Trailers and movies on Social Media: #FantasticBeasts
Trailers are made to create a buzz about a movie. Some sagas are followed by millions of people all around the world. Sometimes it is not the saga that creates expectancy but the actors featuring the movie. For example, people will follow Clint Eastwood in almost every movie he is in.

For some viewers, three trailers may not seem enough. However, you have to pay attention as each trailer reveals new secrets about the movie and the saga. Main aspects about the trailers are: Dumbledore gives Newt directions for a safe house (what for?), Grindewald has escaped (oh, oh), Credence is still alive (good or bad?) and Jacob is back on Wizard sphere (yay!). But the main thing that left all of us speechless is one name: Nagini. Crazy, right? Let’s see how Twitter reacted to this revelation.
Fantastic Beasts on Twitter: Nagini is back
As we have never heard that much about Nagini, her appearance in this trailer drove everyone crazy. Who is she? For how long has J.K. Rowling kept this a secret? Was this planned?
