Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling is penning the screenplay alongside Steve Kloves, with returning director David Yates at the helm.
The novels chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry Potter is of course the hugely successful series of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling that were then adapted into movies for the silver screen.
Beginning in 2001 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the series continued through to 2011, adapting each of the novels, before splitting the final book in two and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
