‘If Newt Scamander hasn’t found it, it’s not worth finding.’

If you hadn’t heard the news already, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the upcoming J.K. Rowling project, which will show us the wizarding world seventy years prior to Harry’s day – following the adventures of the writer Newt Scamander.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the title of Scamander’s book, who is a famed Magizoologist. Scamander first began to develop an interest in magical beasts thanks to his mother, who bred Hippogriffs. The book is a standard textbook found in Hogwarts, and was first published within Harry’s world in 1927.

Eddie Redmayne is due to play the title role of Newt, alongside an ever growing all-star cast, with other big names such as Samantha Morton and Colin Farrell.

And we’ve just recently received news that actors Jon Voight and Ron Perlman have been added to the ever increasingly impressive casting line-up.

Their roles have not yet been announced, but Perlman is allegedly going to be playing a goblin. If anyone can go from Hellboy to Potter Goblin, it’s Perlman.

Gemma Chan and Carmen Ejogo are also recent additions to the cast, but their roles are also under wraps. We’ll just wait and see just who all these notable faces will be playing.

Four years after the release of the last Harry Potter film in the franchise, David Yates is set to reunite with Rowling for this future venture in the film world, with Rowling penning the original screenplay.

It’ll be great to see what’s in store for us in the upcoming project set in the potter ‘verse, and with a stellar cast already coming together, it’s looking pretty promising.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is expected to release 18 November, 2016.
