Empire published this week the cover of its new edition, which shows an impressive art from “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”.

The subscriber-only cover shows the magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), dwarfed by a Thunderbird, the giant mythical creature glimpsed briefly in one of the trailers. The regular newsstand cover will be revealed next week, and will go on sale Thursday 27 October.
