TASK 2 - Reaction In 3 Words

The Girl On The Train reaction: intriguing, dark, involved. Seems mysterious and dark in tone, style and atmosphere, bringing in an uncomfortable yet confusing. Almost a borderline sexual undertone tot he premise. 

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them reaction: warm, magical and excited. Being a spin-off of the Harry Potter franchise, it already has a fan base buzzing; however, concerns will no doubt be rising.
