10 Things You Need To Know About The New Harry Potter Film

10. The Title: Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

We know that the title of the film is going to be Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. That's also the name of a textbook written by Newt Scamander and used in Hogwarts third year Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons. In the Harry Potter universe, the textbook was an incredibly important collection of information that was in its fifty-second printing by the time Harry Potter and company were using it in their classes. JK Rowling wrote a book by the same name back in 2001 for Comic Relief, which was meant to be an in-universe guide cataloging the many mystical creatures found in the wizarding world. The film, however, will not be an adaptation of the encyclopedic textbook (how would they even do that?), but rather a story focusing on its author, Mr. Newt Scamander, and his various adventures after graduating from Hogwarts.
