Rowling has written the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts herself, a departure from the Potter films. It doesn’t seem to matter to fans, who waited in long lines – many in costumes that paid homage to their favorite characters from the series – to purchase Cursed Child at its midnight release on Sunday. They also confirmed a worldwide release date of November 16th, 2018.

It’s a good time for Harry Potter fans, considering that Rowling just released the script for her new stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and Universal’s “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” theme parks are expanding, opening up around the world and as popular as ever.
Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany on “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, which picks up the boy wizard’s story nearly two decades later and focuses on Potter’s youngest son, Albus.
“When we adapted the books, we’d always have to leave out things you hated leaving out because they didn’t quite work in the structure of the storytelling for the movie”, he said. BBC reports that the much-awaited sequel for “Fantastic Beasts” takes viewers from the earthly world and transports them into the partly scary, partly unbelievable world of wizards and beasts.
The sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be out on November 16th 2018, nearly exactly two years after the first one (November 18th this year). The character of Redmayne exists in the same magical world that Harry Potter does.
The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script has become the fastest-selling book in the United Kingdom this decade. At first it seems like it is something kept secret like in Men in Black, but later books and films reveal that magic goes way too public, and it could be known about in the real world, but it is ignored for certain reasons. “So, I’m thrilled to see it realized so beautifully but, no, Harry is done now”.

The as-yet-untitled film will fly into theaters on November 16, 2018, Warner Bros. said Wednesday. The first movie, starring Eddie Redmayne, will be released on November 18, 2016. The film stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston and Ezra Miller. “Even in 2012, our team had successfully produced The Casual Vacancy, which was J.K. Rowling’s first post-Potter novel; and subsequently, had also produced India’s record setting hardback Sachin Tendulkar’s Playing It My Way”.
