The first trailer and poster for the "Harry Potter" prequel have dropped, and unsurprisingly, the Internet is in a tizzy. 

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" follows Eddie Redmayne's character, Newt Scamander, who travels to 1920s New York with a suitcase full of magical creatures. Three guesses what happens to the case. (Video via Warner Bros. / "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them")

"It was open?" asked a character in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" trailer.

"Just a smidge," said Newt Scamander.

The trailer had Potter fans freaking out on Twitter, with pretty much everyone having a positive reaction to it.

This will be the first time fans get to see the American wizarding community, which is apparently desperately trying to hide from non-magical people, or No-Majs. We still prefer "muggles."

Along with Redmayne, the movie stars Katherine Waterston and Colin Farrell. The movie hits theaters in November 2016.
