Friday’s openings: Wizards, boxers and teens

Ready for a little J.K. Rowling? The "Harry Potter" author returns this week with the first of a new series of wizardry, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." All of Friday's scheduled openings are as follows:

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them": Eddie Redmayne stars as Newt Scamander, a wizard visiting New York some 70 years before Harry Potter was even born. Author Rowling tries again, this time with a more adult view.

"Bleed for This":  Miles Teller stars as real-life boxer Vinny Pazienza, whose near-fatal accident proved only to be inspiration for his amazing comeback. He couldn't pronounce no más.

"The Edge of Seventeen": Hailee Seinfeld stars as a teen whose life gets difficult when her best friend begins dating her older brother. Talk about mean girls.

There's a chance that "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" will open, too. I'll have all the updates when the local theaters send out their final listings.
