Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

J.K. Rowling‘s screenplay of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” a “Harry Potter” spin-off, is set to be published in the fall to coincide with the release of the new Warner Bros. film.

Pottermore, the global digital publisher of Rowling’s Wizarding World, said Tuesday it will publish the screenplay on November 19. “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” will hit theaters November 18.

The spin-off has stoked the flames of mania surrounding the “Harry Potter” franchise. The new film marks Rowling’s screenwriting debut, and follows the adventures of writer Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne.

The film explores New York’s secret community of witches and wizards in the 1920s, about 60 years before Harry Potter is born.

The published screenplay will feature Rowling’s full script and be available for all major eReader devices.

This isn’t the first news of a new Harry Potter-related book that will soon be published. Earlier this year, it was announced that the script for the upcoming play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” which is set to debut in London this summer, will be published in book form  as well.
