Warner Bros is expanding JK Rowlings wizarding world with talks of a new film! They have announced that the film will be neither a prequel or sequel to the Harry Potter films and would not star any of the characters. It was a matter of time before plans for further films delving into the magical world but this is very exciting news.
The film will take inspiration from JK Rowlings spin off book Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them both a physical book and fictional Hogwarts School Book. The textbook details magical creatures from Harry Potters Universe and has a fictional author, Newt Scamander who is to be the main character in the new film.
The film will be written by JK Rowling herself in her first go at screenwriting. Rowling said, “the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of Fantastic Beasts, realised by another writer was difficult… As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros." TotalFilm
She has made it clear that this only has connections to the magical world and not to the story of Harry Potter, "The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.”
