I'M SOO H-A-P-P-P-Y-Y-Y!!!!
Guess what? Guess WHAT? Warner Bros announced yesterday that J.K Rowling
...would be making her screenwriting debut with 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', the first in a new film series which is part of their expanded creative partnership with J.K. Rowling. The films will be inspired by Harry Potter’s Hogwarts textbook of the same name, and will feature the book’s fictitious author, Newt Scamander...
In a statement recorded, J.K. Rowling herself said,
“It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of 'Fantastic Beasts', realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.
As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.
Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.
I particularly want to thank Kevin Tsujihara of Warner Bros. for his support in this project, which would not have happened without him. I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it.”
This is it?! THIS IS IT?! Joanne Rowling, you continue to astound us fans! Playing with our emotions, huh? Right now, I just feel like jumping!!
Of course, the box office is set for a BANG! Hope of seeing the old characters of the HP series in the Fantastic Beasts movie is surging inside me! Maybe we'll be able to watch Albus Dumbledore, Bathilda Bagshot, Mr. Ollivander, Auntie Muriel and Professor Binns starring in the film! Maybe we'll get to know about the wizarding schools of America! One thing is clear - this is a turning point in Potterhead history!
Now that the movie on Scamander is being made, I have the feeling that Quidditch through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard are not far away from the star-studded screen! I'm waiting...
