JK Rowling is currently putting the finishing touches to the movie’s screenplay, thought to be the first of a trilogy, which is set in New York 70 years before the beginning of her Harry Potter series.

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is the title of a textbook used by Harry, Ron and Hermione while they were first year pupils at Hogwarts, penned by Newton Artemis Fido 'Newt’ Scamander, a former Hogwarts pupil himself and a Hufflepuff.

Rowling has already hinted that there could be an American branch of Hogwarts featuring in the movie.

Also among the growing cast joining Redmayne are Katherine Waterston, with a rumoured role for Ezra Miller.

Directed by David Yates, who helmed the final four Harry Potter movies for Warner Bros, it’s due out in November 2016.

It follows news that Rowling is behind a forthcoming stage play that will be based on Harry’s parents, and which is set to be staged in London’s west end. Called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it will play at the Palace Theatre in the summer of 2016, with tickets due to go on sale in the autumn.
