J.K. Rowling has already written the sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hasn’t hit cinemas yet (November 2016), yet the film’s director, David Yates, has said that J.K. Rowling has already written the script for the second film … and has ideas for the third!

“We’ve done the first one, she’s written the second one, [and] she’s got ideas for the third one,” he told GSN.

Yates, who directed Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, and both parts of the Deathly Hallows, explains the differences in directing book adaptations and scripts: “When we adapted the books, you would always have to leave out things that you hate leaving out because they didn’t quite work within the structure of the storytelling for the movie, or the movie would just be far too long. With this [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them] it’s just pure Jo [Rowling] from the first page to the last page.”

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is an all-new wizardly adventure created by J.K. Rowling; a Harry Potter spin-off. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) plays the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, who searches for the world’s most magical creatures and stores them in his suitcase.
