Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne up for new J.K. Rowling adaptation
But we're not getting new sequels or prequels to the tale, not yet at least. Instead, the Oscar-winner will head up the cast for the adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
It's the title of a 2001 very short book - at only 42 pages - which was supposed to be Harry Potter's copy of the actual book from the stories. It was mostly created to earn money for Comic Relief so it wasn't the most obvious place to start for a new spin off franchise.
