This November, prepare to re-enter J.K. Rowling 's Wizarding World of Harry Potter with the arrival of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which will be the first installment in a brand new trilogy of films. Not much is known about the film's plot and/or which direction the trilogy will ultimately head, but wherever it goes, it'll have hordes of Potter fans worldwide rushing into theaters as fast as they can.

Thanks to Entertainment Weekly's extensive coverage of next week's San Diego Comic-Con in their latest issue, we have a few minor details on the upcoming Fantastic Beasts sequel, courtesy of director David Yates, and it sounds like a gamechanger. According to him, Rowling is way ahead of the curve and has already completed the film's script: “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. The second movie introduces new characters as she builds this part of the Harry Potter universe further. It’s a very interesting development from where we start out. The work is pouring out of her.” If they didn't hadn't piqued your interest before, it's hard to imagine they haven't captured your attention now.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them features:
Director: David Yates
Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander
Katherine Waterston as Tina
Alison Sudol as Queenie
Dan Fogler as Jacob
Ezra Miller as Credence
Samantha Morton as Mary Lou
Jenn Murray as Chastity
Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty
Colin Farrell as Graves
Jon Voight in an undisclosed role
Gemma Chan in an undisclosed role
Carmen Ejogo in an undisclosed role
Ron Perlman as a goblin

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them hits theaters November 18

Writing anything HP related is probably second nature to her.

TheBeard - 7/14/2016, 3:10 PM

he must be confident

Potato - 7/14/2016, 3:11 PM

As a writer, it must've been interesting learning to transition from novel to screenplay format.

Spider2YBanana - 7/14/2016, 3:34 PM

@Potato - I'm guessing it mustve been pretty easy for her. Screenplay format seems a lot more straightforward

Potato - 7/14/2016, 4:10 PM

@Spider2YBanana - Yes. Very straight forward. You can't waste page space going into detailed descriptions like you can in a novel.

Zero hyped, I'm not a big Harry Potter fan. But I have to admit it was a brilliant idea to cast Eddie Redmayne for this movie. I bet it will sell.

regularmovieguy - 7/14/2016, 3:44 PM

@Cooler

The fact that it's part of the Harry Potter universe will sell a lot more than Eddie Redmayne's participation.

KaneVonDoom - 7/14/2016, 3:54 PM

@Cooler @regularmovieguy - Agreed. I was actually really stoked to hear they were making this movie and still want to be excited for it... but everytime I see Eddie Redmayne in the promotions, I lose nearly all interest.

Maybe it's just me. He's talented and seems like a really nice guy but his screen presence really just annoys the crap out of me. I can't quite place it.

ComicsFreshman - 7/14/2016, 3:35 PM

Man, I get hyped about just anything Harry Potter related, so...BRING IT ON.

Mrcool210 - 7/14/2016, 3:45 PM

"Ron Perlman as a goblin"

I love that that is a credit for the movie. What's next...

Potato - 7/14/2016, 4:14 PM

I'm glad we're getting more Harry Potter stories. Like Star Wars, I feel like it's a wider world with lots of interesting stories going on at once. And the history seems really exciting, too. I'd love to see a medieval story about the Four Founders of Hogwarts.

TheAcuario - 7/14/2016, 5:09 PM

I'm stoked for this

JohnSheppardXXL - 7/14/2016, 7:06 PM

Call me a racist but... Hermione black... just can't see it. I mean Ron would have been ok, but the iconic character, nope.

suitekid - 7/15/2016, 2:32 AM

@JohnSheppardXXL - why is Hermione anymore iconic than Ron?

DeusExSponge - 7/14/2016, 7:31 PM

Well I have no doubt that Fantastic Beast will get a sequel.
