The 6 Best Fictional Writers And Authors


Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Final Trailer - Official Warner Bros. UK

November 1st is Author"s Day, a time to honor all those wonderful writers who have brought our favorite stories to life. To celebrate this occasion, I"ve compiled a list of some of the best fictional writers and authors:

1. Lois Lane (Superman)

Though this classic character has gone through various changes through her multiple incarnations, one thing remains constant: Lois Lane is a passionate journalist. The most recent version of Lois, played by Amy Adams in #ManOfSteel and #BatmanVSuperman, seems to have developed an extra thirst for adventure and excitement, though her end goal is still to get the best scoop for her latest story.

2. Dr. Lipschitz (Rugrats)

While Dr. Lipschitz appeared in person only once, in the episode "A Visit From Lipschitz," the character maintains a strong presence throughout Rugrats.

Both Didi Pickles and Chaz Finster swear by the parenting advice provided in Dr. Lipschitz"s books, quickly consulting them for any perceived problems with their children. His early-childhood empire seems to grow throughout the series, appearing as the face of a Holistic Birthing Center in The Rugrats Movie, and later the face of a luxury cruise ship in Rugrats Go Wild.

3. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Bones)

By day, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan uses her expertise to help solve grisly murders. By night (we assume), she writes a series of best-selling novels based upon her work, with many of the characters inspired by her friends and co-workers.

At last count, Brennan has written five novels over the course of the series, with her works forming major plot points in two episodes. In "The Bodies In The Book," the episode"s killer is copycatting the murders from Brennan"s novel, while in "The Suit On The Set," one of the novels is being made into a film.

4. Dr. John Watson (Sherlock)

In every incarnation of Dr. John Watson thus far, three things usually remain the same: He is an ex-military doctor, the best friend of Sherlock Holmes, and the Great Detective"s biographer, recording all of his most interesting cases.

In the #BBC"s #Sherlock, a modern-day interpretation of the classic stories, John Watson is re-imagined as an internet writer, recording Sherlock"s exploits in the form of an online blog. He also takes a slightly more active role in Sherlock"s adventures than classic Watson.

5. Carrie Bradshaw (s*x & The City)

Each episode of #SexAndTheCity was interwoven with the musings of lead character Carrie Bradshaw writing in a weekly magazine column. Carrie"s writing becomes a greater plot point in the series" later seasons, first when her columns are collected into a full-length book, and again when a studio hopes to turn her book into a film. By the time the two movies take place, Carrie has written more books full of dating advice and chronicling her married life with Mr. Big.

6. Newt Scamander (Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them)

The central character of the upcoming film #FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem, set in the #HarryPotter universe, Newt Scamander is sure to become a popular edition to this list. An eccentric wizard with a love of magical creatures great and small, Newt is mentioned in the Harry Potter novels as the author of Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, a text referenced throughout the series. J.K. Rowling has stated that popular character Luna Lovegood eventually wed Newt"s grandson, Lysander.

"Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them:" New Movie Poster Spotlights Eddie Redmayne As Newt Scamander


First Look! "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" Full Trailer

The Harry Potter universe expanded when J.K. Rowling released the 2001 book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, under the pseudonym Newt Scamander, which is now an upcoming film. On Monday, June 20, Warner Bros. Pictures released a new Fantastic Beasts movie poster that features The Danish Girls Eddie Redmayne dressed as Newt Scamander.

The new movie poster has Redmayne standing atop of a section of a destructed building, holding a briefcase and a glowing wand, while standing across from the train tracks in New York City. The yellow and black striped scarf that Redmayne wears in the Fantastic Beasts poster are the house colors of Hufflepuff, which is part of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Scamander was a student.

[Image via Warner Bros.]The top of the poster features the words, J.K. Rowling invites you to a new era of the wizarding world. The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie title uses the same typography that the Harry Potter movie posters used.

The story takes place 54 years before Harry Potter is even born, and 30 years before Albus Dumbledore becomes headmaster of Hogwarts. In a brief voice-over in the Fantastic Beasts trailer, Colin Farrells character wonders why Dumbledore thinks highly of Scamander, who was apparently kicked out of Hogwarts.

Rowling, who also wrote the screenplay for the movie, created the book that talks about Scamanders life and adventures in 1920s New York City. Scamander carries an expanded briefcase that holds dangerous, magical creatures; the briefcase has a muggle worthy option that hides the fantastic beasts from non-magical people.

Scamander is in New York to attend a meeting with an important official at the Magical Congress of the United States. Unfortunately, the magical creatures in the briefcase end up escaping at one point, which causes tension between the magical community and the No-Maj, the American version of non-magical people.

Its up to Newt Scamander to retrieve the magical creatures, all the while being chased by Percival Graves, played by Farrell. Graves is a high-ranking Auror, whom are elite wizards that hunt down magical people that use spells from the Dark Arts.

Tony award-winning actor Dan Fogler plays Jacob Kowalski, a No-Maj factory worker who becomes friends with Scamander. After meeting Scamander, Kowalski is exposed to the NYC magical community.

John Carter actress Samantha Morton plays the societys sinister leader, Mary Lou.

The fantastic beasts featured in the story do not make a full appearance in the teaser trailer that was released back in April, but viewers do get a glimpse of a couple of the creatures.
