While the Harry Potter saga may be over for Hollywood, author of the famous fantasy books J.K. Rowling has revealed that she isn't quite done with the universe

According to Deadline (via VG247), Rowling will be basing the adaptation on the book 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' and the book's fictional author, Newt Scamander. Interestingly, this will be the first in a new movie series. Rowling will be once again working with Warner Bros. and has revealed that the new series will lead into spin-offs that include a new game series and "consumer products."

“Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen 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,” said Rowling. “The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.”

“We are incredibly honored that Jo has chosen to partner with Warner Bros. on this exciting new exploration of the world of wizardry which has been tremendously successful across all of our businesses,” said Tsujihara. “She is an extraordinary writer, who ignited a reading revolution around the world, which then became an unprecedented film phenomenon. We know that audiences will be as excited as we are to see what her brilliant and boundless imagination conjures up for us.”

No date has yet been given on when the film will appear on the silver screen, so expect a video game adaptation to be sometime after that, presumably in LEGO form as well going from previous history.
