Big news coming out of the Wizarding World! Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara has divulged some juicy details about the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movieS that J.K. Rowling is currently writing. Yes, you read correctly. There will be multiple movies.
There will be 3 ‘megamovies’ made. These films will focus on Newt Scamander. The setting will begin in New York. These movies will be set about 70 years before Harry Potter went to Hogwarts.
Tsujihara was the man who persuaded Rowling to expand the beloved Harry Potter universe. “When I say he made Fantastic Beasts happen, it isn’t P.R.-speak but the literal truth,” Rowling explained. “We had one dinner, a follow-up telephone call, and then I got out the rough draft that I’d thought was going to be an interesting bit of memorabilia for my kids and started rewriting!”
Not many other names are attached to the movies…yet. Though David Heyman will be producing the trilogy. At this point there has been no director or estimated release date. But, in the weeks and months to come both will be announced.
Are you excited? Will you go watch? Or would you rather read new books about the boy wizard (or even his parents and his friends)? Sound off below!
