Author J.K. Rowling has completed the screenplay for the “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” movie sequel. This was revealed when an anxious fan asked Rowling herself if she had already written the “Harry Potter” movie spin-off on Twitter. The fan also asked the author to tell her everything about it.

To which J.K. Rowling replied,“Yes, I have but I CAN’T TELL YOU ANYTHING YET, WOMAN.”
The first “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” movie was so successful that Warner Brothers Pictures wasted no time in renewing it to include five movies. It is two more than the originally agreed upon trilogy during the 2014 pre-production discussions.

Zoe Kravitz will also be reprising her role as Leta Lestrange in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” sequel.
