A straight-forward movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is unlikely to ever happen for a handful of reasons – so for the time being, Wizarding World fans will need to turn to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to get their fix.
Rowling, who both created the Wizarding World and wrote the seven Harry Potter books that started it all, has also announced that plans are in motion for a grand total of five films in the Fantastic Beasts cinematic cycle to be made.
It’s perhaps not all that much of a surprise that Rolwing would opt to publish her screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for retail consumption, following the runaway success of the script for the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (which Rowling developed the story for, but did not actually write) that was published this past summer.
Taking to her personal Twitter account, Rowling has announced that her original screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will soon be finding its way to bookstore shelves the world over as an official publication.
