The Harry Potter films will live again. Warner Bros, the studio behind the Potter films, has announced it's implementing a brand new feature series along with author JK Rowling, depending on Fantastic Beasts and Where to locate Them, the very first-year textbook that Potter uses at Hogwarts school in Harry Potter along with the Elixir.
In 2001 Rowling published Fantastic Beasts as being a separate book in aid of the Comic Relief charity, with the book purporting for being Potter's actual copy with the textbook, filled with his with his fantastic friends' doodles and scribblings. It is a help guide to "magizoology", or even the study of magical creatures, and was supposedly published in 1918, authored by Newt Scamander, who will become the central character from the new film.
Rowling is fine for the screenplay of the new film – her first – and the hope is the fact that it will expand right franchise along the same lines as Potter. Mcdougal said in the statement: "Fantastic Beasts and Finding Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but extra time of the wizarding world ... Newt's story will become in The big apple, seventy years before Harry's gets underway."
Rowling stated that the studio stumbled on her first while using suggestion, but she said she made her own bid to become involved. "Thinking about seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of Fantastic Beasts, realised by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so very long around my fictional universe, I feel very protective from it ... When i considered Warners' proposal, a thought took shape that I couldn't dislodge. That may be generate income finished up pitching my very own idea for any film to Warner Bros."
Kevin Tsujihara, Warner Bros CEO said: "We're incredibly honoured that Jo has chosen to partner with Warner Bros. for this exciting new search for the concept of wizardry that's been tremendously successful across our businesses... We know that audiences will probably be as excited once we are to find out what her brilliant and boundless imagination invokes for all of us."
The eight Harry Potter films, that had been released between 2001 and 2011, took over $7.7bn (£4.87bn) worldwide, which is still the most successful film compilation of all time. Warner has additionally developed a string of theme parks, video game titles and digital attractions, which is why it clearly anticipates similar exploitation with Fantastic Beasts.
