Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

To all you Harry Potter  fans out there who were disappointed when the book series ended, you are in for a major treat. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter spinoff “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” will be a trilogy, and Warner Bros. is planning “three megamovies” for the hot new franchise. Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, persuaded Rowling to revive the Harry Potter movie magic by adapting her Hogwarts textbook “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” for the big screen. The book is 54 pages and was written in 2001 between publication of the fourth and fifth Potter books. The story is set  in New York about seven decades before the start of the Harry Potter story, and the films will follow magizoologist Newt Scamander. Rowling says this new series will not be a prequel or sequel to Harry Potter, but simply an “extension of the wizarding world.” (Variety.com)
