J.K Rowling is writing a new film for Warner Bros, It's not a sequel or a prequel to Harry Potter but it's set in the same world! and is an extension to it!

I'm dubious of course, but the fact that she's so rich makes me believe she wouldn't do it unless she really believed in it. I don't know, I just don't want anything to ruin the original film series.
That's cool! She's also written a small film for when the new Wizarding World opens later this year, so lots of new Harry Potter stuff!
bit surprised but I'll trust her judgement cos she's normally good at picking out which deals are worthwhile (not for the money, just what's going to add to the harry potter world and what's just a money-grabbing exercise).
I think this'll kill the franchise tbh. She's making a film based upon the world created in the harry potter books and then she's making it more or less nothing to do with Harry Potter, she's just trying to make more money off the franchise. Saying it has nothing to do with Harry Potter is just so people think it won't be more of the same

It's up to her, she made Harry Potter. If she thinks she can pull it off let her get on with it.
It won't kill the franchise considering it's the most successful in the world :P And she is half basing it off the book of the same name, which was written between the 4th and 5th books I think?Quote:

quite excited to see how it all turns out. new harry potter-ish stuff sounds good, yay
I am definitely interested in seeing how this turns out.
If anything this will enhance the franchise. I view the Harry Potter story just to be one aspect of a much wider world, as long as they don't link TOO MUCH then it should be fine.
I just hope she has made the right decision to make this a movie, I just wish it was more Harry Potter related, like with the characters and stuff.
I read somewhere it's set 70 years before Harrys story? So it will be slightly different anyway. I think it's good that they're expanding the magical world to people who don't go on sites like Pottermore etc.
Oo this sounds major exciting!
sounds interesting not sure how it will turn out but i'll definately be watching it
I'm so excited for this like as soon as my friend texted me in caps that there might be a new movie coming out we started ****zing over new everything. I don't think she's doing it for the money, isnt she like the richest woman authors of our time or something and she donates a lot of that to charities and things anyway so i dont think she's needing the money. As for the storyline I'm kinda excited because imagine all the new creatures we might get to see Newt studying/discovering and all the new merch omg merch yay :D
can't wait!
