Rowling confirms “Fantastic Beasts” trilogy

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” will form part of a trilogy of movies, JK Rowling has confirmed on Twitter. 

The news came in response to the author's attempts to belay rumours her stage-play based in the Harry Potter universe, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, would be receiving a cinematic adaptation. 

A notion which may not remain watertight; being that it seems fairly unlikely Rowling won't ever be tempted to bring her sold-out theatrical show to screen in some form. There's only so long one can really resist studios hammering down the door in desperation for new Potter material. 

The film will spin out the adventures of the adventurous author of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, Newt Scamander (played Eddie Redmayne), as he journeys to New York to attend its magical convention; only to find the numerous creatures contained with his briefcase set loose amongst the streets of its metropolis. 

The film also stars Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Samantha Morton, Ezra Miller, and Colin Farrell. 

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is set to hit UK cinemas November 18.
