Back in the day, a wonderful author named JK Rowling created a book series, Harry Potter, which captured the imagination of generations of fans. With seven books and a series of eight powerhouse films, Harry Potter is one of the most lucrative franchises in history. We were riding high on the euphoria of always having more Harry Potter to look forward to, until one day, it happened. The seventh book came and went, and a couple of years ago, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II hit theaters. And it was over. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. It was a dark time. Because back then, JK Rowling had been fairly insistent that she wouldn't be writing any more Harry Potter material. They were done, she wanted to move on to new projects, etc, etc. Luckily for us, she was just lying to keep us all off her back, because last year she announced that Warner Brothers would be creating a new film set in the Harry Potter universe. And in an instant, the Harry Potter fanbase that had been lying dormant since the last Deathly Hallows film suddenly awoke, stronger and more powerful than ever before. Here's what we know so far about the much anticipated film.
