J.K. Rowling Is Planning Five Sequels For “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”

The author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, has planned scripts for the "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" sequels.

The first film, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" will be released on November 17. It is also a debut for Rowling as a screenwriter, according to BBC News.

Warner Bros already confirmed a sequel, but Rowling made a statement that she was "pretty sure" the story will unravel over five movies.

She made the new announcement during the promotional event at Leicester Square in London.

The "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" is a story about a fictional author stated in the Harry Potter stories. The movie is set in New York.

The film is starring Eddie Redmayne, who plays the role of Newt Scamander, who visits the secret society of wizards and witches in New York.

Fans are already excited to the new movie, but did not expect to get five installments of "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them."

Rowling said, "We always knew it was going to be more than one movie, and we said a trilogy as a placeholder. But I've done the plotting properly and I'm pretty sure it's going to be five movies," NewsWeek wrote.

iTechPost reported that the final trailer of the film has been released, and with the announcement of five movie installments, Rowling said that there's a lot of discussion about Dumbledore as well as Grindelwald.

There is no further information as to who will play the character of Dumbledore.

Director David Yates said, "We can't tell you, too, because we'd have to kill you all, but we do mention Dumbledore and he features in a wonderful scene between Colin (Farell) and Eddie (Redmayne)."

"Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" is a fantasy-action genre film, written by J.K. Rowling and directed by David Yates. The cast includes Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterson, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Colin Farrell.
