Bestselling author J.K Rowling has reawakened the magical world of Harry Potter with the production of her latest movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, although the release date is yet to be announced.

The series of fantasy novels follows the adventures of wizard Harry Potter as he struggles to defeat Lord Voldemort, with the help of his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Following the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Rowling released a 42-page fantasy resembling a textbook referenced in the movie. The book contains the history of Magizoology (mash-up of magic and zoology) describing 75 magical species found around the world.  Although the book isn’t part of the Harry Potter collection of novels, it has sold around 500,000 copies. Due to the book’s success, on Sept. 12, Warner Bros. announced that J.K Rowling would be making her screenwriting debut in the first of a planned series of film adaptations, exciting Potterheads (the name Potter fans call themselves) all over the world.

“I don’t think it will be as good as the other movies, but anything that J.K Rowling is writing will be great,” freshman Phoebe Pannier said. Harry Potter is the highest grossing film series of all time with 7.7 billion dollars. “Commercially, I think the movie will be a success since lots of people will go to the premiere. It will be beautiful,” Pannier said.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rowling said, “Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for 17 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 film based on a guide for magical creatures and will center around the life of the fictional author, Newt Scamander, and includes an entirely new cast of actors, playing Sacamanders friends and other characters. This surprising revelation has left Potterheads ecstatic for the new release.

“From a marketing standpoint, I think its a brilliant plan. They want more money, and it’s a smart move because there are millions of Harry Potter fans who are going to go see the movie and it will make a ton of people happy, but it’s also a risk,” freshman Andrew Michel said. He thought that J.K Rowling writing the script would make the movie even better. “I think that its a really good idea if she writes it. Everyone knows her style, so if they like the books, they will like the movie,” Michel said.

However, not all fans believe its such a great idea. “I think that people should leave the Harry Potter movies as they are; I don’t think people should make more movies purely for income. I just think that the Harry Potter movies were many people’s childhood, and there is no point to this except for the money,” sophomore Miriam Tibbetts said.

The revelation of this new series of films shocked all Harry Potter fans, and has now left them on the tips of the toes, restlessly waiting for the continuation of the magical world they thought had come to a close.
