Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them

Rowling, famed author of the Harry Potter books, is set to write her first screen play. It is based on one of Potter's text books, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (I believe Hagrid assigned the book to Potter and mates). She originally wrote the book in '07 as part of a charity project.

Now she's turning it into a movie. She is careful to remark that it is not a sequel to or prequel to or any way associated with Potter or Voldermort, but rather its own story set in the Hogwarts setting.

Thoroughly enjoyed the movies, this should not disappoint.
