Production on Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them 2 is due to begin in August 2017 ahead of its release on 16 November 2018.
The success of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, which grossed $813.2 million at the box office despite being barely linked to the previous Harry Potter films, means that a number of sequels are planned.
The big question now is what does the future actually hold for the Niffler?
Hopefully the fantastic beasts will feature prominently in the follow-up, which will then pave the way for the much needed Niffler spin-off that the world is craving for.
