A new film based on the Harry Potter series is due to be made by Warner Bros. 'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them', a new film based on the book of the same name by J.K Rowling will be turned into a series of films and video games according to the film company behind the $7.7bn Harry Potter franchise. The new film will also debut Rowling as a screenwriter, but will not be a sequel or prequel to the Harry Potter films. Set some seventy years before the Harry Potter films, this film will be loosely based around Quidditch - the sport that is hugely popular in the wizarding film. There are rumors that Warner Bros are also considering spin-off movies on Rowling's other books "Quidditch Through The Ages" and "The Tales of Beedle The Bard". Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the lead role in Harry Potter has already announced that he would not be part of the project. This, however gives some initial thoughts of where the film series could go next; and the potential to create spin-offs from characters and books will reassure fans that the magic isn't dead yet. | |
