The part where we don't get to have it set in the Roaring Twenties.
I'm glad Rowling chose this route. The change in setting and character gives the movie much more of a chance to be its own thing.

I've two main concerns about things that could make or break this movie and its inevitable sequels.
First, I'm hoping the film doesn't get bogged down in gratuitous references to continuity or appeals to fan nostalgia; i.e. in the form of some kind of a Hobbit-style framing device in the modern day with cameos by the old cast. Don't waste time on that, don't let the film get bloated in self-indulgence. Let the film stand on its own merits, rather than only in relation to the previous books/films.
Second, I'm hoping they tell a story that's satisfying on its own. Even if they want to set up a sequel, don't do it in a way that makes the story at hand less enjoyable. Personally, I'm hoping they just go for three isolated stories rather than attempt to tell some grand epic across three movies.
Luna Lovegood as protagonist would have been awesome. But there's still plenty of time for that, I suppose. The actor is now ... in her early twenties?
They can wait until she has grown up and then do this movie where Luna is a successful magizoologist and goes on adventures and all that.
I would so go and see that movie. Yeah, I cannot imagine what she'd do as protagonist, but that's Rowling's job, I just have to watch it.
What's interesting about it is that it's a totally new story that's nothing like the book it's named after. I actually only read a few entries of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but I'm pretty sure I don't remember anything about Newt Scamander travelling to New York.
So at least I probably won't miss out on much info besides maybe a few names of the creatures.
Rowlings beasts are really weird...and really British.

I liked the end of the teaser when Newt gets up out of bed and jumps in his suitcase.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureHyped as well. Visuals seem awesome, with none of the gratuitous grimy gloomy grittiness that plagued the British films.
Unless the latter are actually faithful to the actual general mood in the UK, which is such a sad thing to contemplate...
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.The best way to do a Mythology Gag to the book would be to have Harry, Hermione and Ron do the DVD commentary.

Voldemort had to spread out of England a lot wider. After he killed Harry, he could move through the rest of Britain, then into Europe, and build up strength there before he took on the rest of the world.
