Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in U.S. theaters on November 18th, 2016, followed by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 on November 16th, 2018.
And that may seem an odd choice to some, especially seeing as Rowling has produced a stage sequel to her Harry Potter series, but Fantastic Beasts aims to be its own thing; something familiar but also new.
The film will return eager fans to J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World; however, it will have nothing to do with her most famous creation: Harry Potter.
Expectations for this fall’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are running very high.
