It ’s at long last official : Eddie Redmayne ( The possibility of Everything ) will asterisk as Newt Scamander in the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to chance Them .
It seemed for a while that it was between Redmayne and Matt Smith , who wasbriefly rumoredto be in talks for the atomic number 82 . But now Warner Brothers and film director David Yates have settled on Redmayne . antic Beasts has a screenplay from J.K. Rowling herself , and is only sort of based on the book of the same name . In Harry Potter , Fantastic Beasts and Where to rule Them is a Hogwarts textbook about , well , the wizardly creatures of that Earth . And the book you’re able to buy is written as a textbook .
The movie takes berth in New York seventy years before Harry Potter , which places it in the mid- to late twenties . As you ’d guess , the film is about “ magizoologist ” Newt Scamander and the brute - based adventures that leave in him writing the germinal piece of work on magical creature . I ’m kind of hoping we get less well - tread creatures like dragons and more esoteric ones like mooncalves .
