J.K. Rowling takes us behind the scenes in this Fantastic Beasts featurette

Taking place 70 years before the events of HARRY POTTER, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM will chronicle some of the life and times of Newt Scamander – A magizoologist who comes to New York with a briefcase full of wondrous creatures. I think it's a given that these creatures will be on the loose at some point, but series creator J.K. Rowling talks about the characters of her story in this latest featurette!

There's a lot to explore in the wizarding world of Harry Potter and admittedly, I'm not sure how well this will do without the pull of a known hero or villain. With that said, I'm hoping the movie turns out well, if only so we could see more spin-offs that explore the many interesting facets that make up the wizarding world. Who knows? Perhaps a movie or two chronicling Harry Potter's adult life may even come into play eventually…

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM will open in theaters on November 18, 2016.
