Ok, ok, after we’ve all managed to catch our breath after the collective ARRGGHHHing, whether of excitement or despair, caused by the news that JK Rowling’s writing a new wizard thing, and after certain editors have got their rocks sufficiently off by blasting her for having the audacity to further explore her own intellectual property, let’s look at the situation with a little perspective, a phrase which here means “let’s give the girl some credit.” Here are the top ten reasons some of us are, let’s say “cautiously optimistic” about the Newt Scamander Saga.

We’ve done the then-topical Top 10 Moustaches in film, the semi-libellous Top 10 reasons Ellen Page is a secret lesbian and the unnecessarily Photoshop-heavy Top 10 films that should be reshot with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role, and now we’re almost completely out of ideas.

Best For Film’s tribute is a little less flashy but equally heartfelt; in this blog, Ella Risbridger counts down her top ten reasons why (despite it being utterly morally repugnant) she loves Gone with the Wind.
