Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling announced she is writing a screenplay for a new Harry Potter Universe movie that takes place 70 years before Harry. It will instead focus on Newt Scamander as he collects material for his Fantastic Beasts  book.

I sure got sucked into the Harry Potter books. One of the best things about the books was the world itself. It is such a great mix of wonder, danger, and whimsey. I’m looking forward to a movie that focuses even more on this strange place sans Harry and Voldy. All that being said, a cameo appearance from a very young Albus Dumbledore would just make my day.
