At some point during the movie, the characters go to the Blind Pig, a speakeasy for wizards, to get some information about the escaped magical animals. There"s a bartender who serves Jacob some Giggle Water.
Because the bartender is an elf, its face had lớn be animated. To lớn cast the face, animation supervisor just picked a random electrician he saw on set.
"What a great face," animation supervisor Pablo Grillo said when he saw the electrician, according to lớn "Inside the Magic." "Paul looks quite good, doesn"t he?" he asked director David Yates. Yates told him to lớn ask if he could scan the electrician"s face.
"So they ended up scanning him in and "Paul the spark" became their bartending elf," Ian Nathan wrote in "Inside the Magic.

The original interior of Newt Scamander's briefcase was way too ambitious.
Warner Bros.
One of the early concepts for the interior of Newt Scamander"s briefcase was for it lớn be a mysterious, all-expansive "Eden-like environment," according to "Inside the Magic."
"With hints of the wardrobe from Narnia, the steps would lead Newt into a perfectly realized forest, and across a certain boundary you could see rolling waves & surf, & the horizon going on forever. It was an entire world."
J.K. Rowling pointed out, though, that "it would take a wizard more powerful than even Voldemort to create such a place." So the animation designers scaled it back, creating fewer habitats, making Newt"s magic seem more rickety.
"What we came up with was this slightly dysfunctional magic," conceptual artist Dermot power said."Newt loves animals so much he"s gone through great trouble of creating these worlds, but he doesn"t see his career as that. He"s just pleased the animals are happy."

While MinaLima made kém chất lượng headlines for the magical papers, they didn"t write body text for the stories. For the Clarion, they did. Each paper features fully-fledged stories on everything from the retail sector of the American economy khổng lồ the activities of totally invented politicians.
Moreover, the detail invested into the newspaper office was extraordinary. Warner Bros. Imported more than 80 bespoke desks from the United States onto the mix in the United Kingdom. Every single one of the journalists clattering away on typwriters in the background was given a title, và the drawers in their desks were filled with material for stories.
"If you looked at the desks you"d see a travel correspondent, one for science, one for culture, one for new york local news. On the theater reviewer"s desk, there"d be programs," designer Miraphora Mina said, according lớn "The Case of Beasts."
