"I don't think I'm going to be coming back. we can't be doing these characters when we're 40, so there has to be a line drawn. [However] I never know what Jo [best-selling author J.K. Rowling] is going to write, but at the moment I'm in the same position that everyone else is in -- waiting to hear what information is coming out because I don't know anything about these new films… I'll be intrigued to see what she does."
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be an original story and will mark Rowling's screenwriting debut. It is planned as the first picture in a new film series. Set in the wizarding world, the story will feature magical creatures and characters, some of which will be familiar to devoted Harry Potter fans.
In addition to the film series, "Fantastic Beasts" will also be developed across the Studio's Interactive Entertainment, consumer products and digital initiatives businesses, including enhanced links with Pottermore, Rowling's digital online experience built around the Harry Potter books.
The Studio's expanded partnership with Rowling also covers the continued expansion of its Harry Potter activities, including the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks in conjunction with partner Universal Studios Theme Parks & Resorts (currently in Orlando, FL; opening in Hollywood, CA and Osaka, Japan), digital initiatives (including Pottermore), video games, consumer products
