September 12, 2013
J K Rowling's world of wizardry is coming back to the big screen but without Harry Potter.
Film studio Warner Bros announced Thursday that Rowling will write the screenplay for a movie based on "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," her textbook to the magical universe she created in the boy wizard's stories.
The story will focus on the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander, and is anticipated to be the first in a series.
