JK ROWLING WRITING A MOVIE SET IN THE WIZARDING WORLD

Warner Bros. announced that J.K. Rowling will make her screenwriting debut with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Yep. There is an actual movie coming out that's set in our beloved wizarding world, with Rowling herself writing the script!

Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway. - Rowling

*screams* *flails*





And I'd just been looking at my scanned copy of an interview with myself in the Singapore newspaper on the eve of the release of Deathly Hallows Part 2, where I talked about the buzz and shared excitement and anticipation that brought HP fans across the world together before the release of a new book or movie, and how I'd miss it. But now we've got a new movie to look forward to! I can't wait to dress up and go see it with friends and family. ♥

Also, Tumblr has pretty much exploded with the sheer force of the Harry Potter fandom's delight. :D
