25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Winter 2016 - Ranked
3. Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Release Date: December 18th
Billed As: JK Rowling's first in a five step plan to make us all forget Harry Potter a bit.
Hype: If The Cursed Child proved one thing, it's that even mediocre material set in the Harry Potter world will sell billions, which might be why Warner Bros and JK Rowling have just announced that the Fantastic Beasts series will now be five movies long. Let's hope it gets off to a good start then, eh?
This time out, the hero is Newt Scamander - an amalgamation of Harry, Ron and Hermione - in a period, American-set Potterverse spin-off. There's a great cast involved, a more than capable director and the trailers so far have looked perfectly on the money.
Potter fans will flock to see it, and hopefully their faith will be rewarded.
