He also told EW about their plans for the next film, saying: “We’ve seen the script for Part 2, for the second movie, which takes the story in a whole new direction – as you should, you don’t want to repeat yourself”. To say that the people behind “Fantastic Beasts” have high hopes for the movie is a clear understatement, especially since a sequel is already in the works even before the first movie is released. There’s no date on the 3rd film, although if they keep to this two year cycle it’s likely November 20th 2020.
Based on her 2001 novel by the same name, the story follows Newt Scamander, a “magizoologist” on a mission to catalogue otherworldy creatures in NY.
J.K. Rowling’s eighth and final installment in the Harry Potter series is not cursed at all.
A spokesman for the show said: “Please note that we reserve the right to refuse admission to customers with tickets purchased on re-sale websites”.

Redmayne said: “My favourite film is probably the finale – Deathly Hallows: Part 2”, naming one of the four films that Fantastic Beasts director David Yates helmed. It appears that Fantastic Beasts will set the stage for a much darker sequel, as relations between wizards/witches and their muggle counterparts begins to dissolve, leading to the reign of He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. It is possible that the real world ignored it because they feared it, and perhaps Rowling will delve more into this issue only hinted at in her original seven-book series. The film follows Newt in New York’s secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school.
