The wizarding world of Harry Potter is coming back to the big screen through a new spin-off movie written by J.K. Rowling herself. The movie will be set 70 years before the events of Harry Potter, and will follow the adventures of Newt Scamander. For big fans, Scamander's name may be familiar — in the original series, he was the author of a textbook called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which Harry was required to buy. The textbook's title is serving as a name for the upcoming picture as well. Warner Bros. announced the new film this morning, saying that it would be the first in a whole new series, and that some familiar characters and creatures could turn up once again.

"I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about," Rowling says in a statement, "and this is it." Scamander's story will begin in New York, rather than London as in the original series, but Rowling says that all of the laws and customs that relate to hidden magical societies should remain familiar. The new film's events otherwise won't have a direct relationship to the events of Harry Potter, and should instead stand on their own. Though the original film series was adapted from Rowling's novels, this will be the first movie that she has written herself.

International lady version of Chetan Bhagat.
No, that's an insult to J.K. Rowling. She got lucky with Harry Potter getting famous and amassing huge following, but that shouldn't be the reason to generalize her. Remember, she started writing it as a children's novel and it had some great themes to play with, especially for a young mind. Read her previous two novels to find out what she is really capable of. The last one she published under a pseudonym to avoid any undue expectations, but the book still got rave reviews.

Chetan Bhagat is a tool who writes crap, and is now busy doing right-wing propaganda; will probably enter politics soon I guess.

Don't you talk like that about our Queen. :bookworm:
She created a rich universe like LOTR or Gaiman's Sandman. Bhagat is an idiot whose book are bollywood movies on paper minus the songs.
