Abandon all cynicism those who enter here, because Warner Bros. has put the wizarding world back in motion. News is just in that J. K. Rowling is working on a new movie set in the world of Harry Potter , her first screenplay and a possible launchpad for a whole Potter-ish franchise. The film, which will be based on Rowling's (officially, Magizoologist Newt Scamander's ) universe-expanding Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them , will be set in the wizarding world. It will feature creatures and characters - some new, some already familiar to Potter fans - and, promises Rowling, will be "neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world" set 70 years before Harry Potter sets foot in Hogwarts. That puts it somewhere around 1921, when Scamander would have been about 24 according to in-world chronology. "It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning Fantastic Beasts into a film,"
