Harry Potter was a great success in bookstores and movie theaters, alike, earning billions on both accounts; and enthralling multiple generations of men, women, and children with its enchanting wizardry.

Now that the book on Harry Potter has been shut, it is time that lesser known characters become better know, with a film spin-off of Harry Potter, an adaption of J.K.Rowling's novel, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Warner Bros. announced in mid-September that they will back Fantastic Beasts, which will be produced by David Heyman, who produced all eight of the Harry Potter films. Heyman expressed his incredible excitement about the project, but reminded fans that this movie will NOT feature Harry, Ron, or Hermione, it a unique story in a Potter-esq universe. He also stated that Rowling was swelling with plot ideas and concepts for his adventures, and has a ready knowledge of Fantastic Beasts' lead character's history.

Fantastic Beasts is a text that is owned by Harry Potter, featured in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and contains the history of Magizoology, and describes the 75 species of magical beasts found in that world. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was written by fictional author Newt Scamander, and is given to first-year Hogwarts students.

Rowling novelized Scamander's fictional work in 2001. The film will be about Scamander's life and findings, and will be set in 1920s New York.

J.K. Rowling has not turned the 42-page "textbook" into a script yet, but she is said to be fast at work. It will be Rowling's first screenplay.

Warner Bros. not only trademarked Fantastic Beasts, but also the other spin-off books, Quiddith Through the Ages, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Pottermore and "Prequel". These trademarks don't guarantee that these books will be made into full movies, but it does mean that they could become videogames, TV series or comic books.
