Here are some of the things we learnt:
以下是我们的收获：
1.Eddie Redmayne wound up "sobbing" after reading the script for the first time
1.埃迪 雷德梅尼第一次看完剧本后难过得哭了
In Yates-ian style, the director held a "slightly clandestine meeting" with Redmayne near Christmas in the basement of "a hidden little club in Soho", next to a roaring fire. He later went to safari parks to meet real zoologists and meet experts in animal breeding to learn about these people cared for exotic creatures.
圣诞节临近时，导演叶茨在Soho区一家隐秘俱乐部的地下室里与雷德梅尼在熊熊燃烧的火堆旁“秘密小聚了一次”。这是他一贯的作风。随后，他到野生动物园拜访了真正的动物学家以及动物育种专家，了解这些照料外来生物的人们。
2.JK Rowling wrote the script in two-day chunks
2.JK 罗琳两天重写一遍剧本
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themis Rowling's debut screenplay, and she said that, in comparison to writing a novel, she really, really, really enjoyed it.
《神奇动物在哪里》是罗琳的电影剧本处女作。比起写小说，她认为自己真的、真的很喜欢写剧本。
Rowling was in constant communication with Yates and serial Potter-producers Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. She would then: "depart for her hotel and spent two nights at her keyboard, returning having not slept but rewritten huge portions of the script, sometimes producing an entirely new draft."
罗琳与叶茨、哈利 波特系列电影制作人史蒂夫 克劳夫和莱昂纳尔 威格拉姆不断沟通后，便“赶回酒店，花上两晚不眠不休地码字，又将剧本的大部分重写，有时还会创作出全新的剧本初稿。”
3. Redmayne made sure that Newt's wand was animal-free
3.雷德梅尼坚信纽特的魔杖没有动物元素
