Moviegoers who plan to watch “Fantastic Beasts” movie along with its up and coming sequel will have no problem in adjusting and relating to the movie even without reading the book thanks to J.K Rowling and David Yates.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is Australia’s fastest-selling book in 2016, with publishers and booksellers calling the response “unprecedented”.

The prospect of a burgeoning Fantastic Beasts franchise to follow the eight-part Harry Potter series will be magical for Rowling, who was named the world’s third richest author this week.

In the Q&A, Redmayne also revealed that his favourite “Harry Potter” book is the story that kicked off the series, “Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone”. It is actually meant to be an in-universe textbook that Harry Potter purchases for his first year at Hogwarts.

“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.

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” was first published as a book back in 2001.

J.K Rowling has previously said that “Fantastic Beasts” is a trilogy.

For all you Muggles out there who don’t spend their time in the magical world, Fantastic Beasts is a prequel to the Harry Potter series that takes place in NY during the 1920s.

United Kingdom book industry magazine and website The Bookseller said if the sales rate continued, the script book would “be the second biggest-selling single week for one title since records began, with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” as the first”.
