El hecho de que la saga original de Harry Potter estuviera ambientada en la actualidad no llegó nunca a implicar que el diseño de producción tuviera menos importancia, como se demuestra en un escenario tan impresionante como la Escuela Hogwarts de Magia y HechicerÃa.
Pero la historia de Animales Fantásticos y dónde Encontrarlos, la precuela que ha contado con un guión de la propia JK Rowling, se desarrolla en la Nueva York de 1920, lo que significaba que el equipo tenÃa que hacer un esfuerzo extra por inyectarle vida a ese mundo.
Para la difÃcil tarea, según recoge un reportaje de Metro UK, el equipo contó con la imprescindible ayuda de Peter Saunders y su casa de estilo victoriano. Saunders empleó 11 años en restaurar su vivienda de manera que pareciera pertenecer realmente a los años 20, y el resultado final ha servido de inspiración directa para los escenarios de Animales Fantásticos y dónde Encontrarlos.
