Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' Script Hits eBook!

This fall's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, starring Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, will be the first time in five years we get to see the world of Harry Potter on the big screen -- and in the hands of readers once again. The film's script will be published as an eBook and printed book -- the latest J.K. Rowling Potter book!

The announcement came through Pottermore, a website co-created by Rowling that's entirely dedicated to everything Harry Potter, from news to original material from the series. It even sells eBooks and audio books. The movie's screenplay will be available in both eBook and print versions (from Little Book and Scholastic) starting this November. There has been no announcement though regarding translation into other languages.

Several websites have already enabled pre-sales of the Fantastic Beasts screenplay, which will be released only hours after the movie hits theaters in the United States. While the film will be set in the same fictional universe as the previous Harry Potter films, it's set in the 1920s, decades before Harry was even born, in a time when Albus Dumbledore wasn't even the headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"When Magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York, he intends his stay to be just a brief stopover," reads the story's synopsis. "However, when his magical case is misplaced and some of Newt's fantastic beasts escape, it spells trouble for everyone."

This film will mark Rowling's screenwriting début, but not the first time she tackles this material. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is actually mentioned among the books Hogwarts students use in the Potter universe, and Rowling later wrote the actual textbook in 2001. Since the format is entirely different to Rowling's book, little is known from the movie's plot other than its synopsis.

Besides Redmayne, Fantastic Beasts also stars Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Jon Voight and Samantha Morton. The film premieres in theaters on November 18, and will be available on eBook the next day.
