was dreaming up a way to extend its ultra-lucrative film franchise, it floated the idea of doing a faux-documentary about Newt researching and writing his famous textbook to Rowling. Both it and its sister volume, Quidditch through the Ages, were released to help raise money for the British charity Comic Relief. Fantastic Beasts also began as a book, but its origin, nature, and route to the screen is fundamentally different.įantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was published in 2001, in-between the fourth and fifth Potter installments, as a real-world representation of the fictitious textbook that Harry, Ron, and Hermione all read at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry it features Newt Scamander’s name on the cover instead of Rowling’s, and Harry and Ron’s handwritten notes have been inserted throughout the interior. Harry Potter started off life, of course, as a series of seven novels, which served as the basis for the film adaptations. We don’t want to “spoil” anyone who’s not ready to know anything about the new wizarding adventure, after all. Let’s cast some magic on the 10 Differences between Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, then – but only if you’re comfortable having a basic level of knowledge about the new film’s premise and cast of characters. It’s illustrative to spell these out, just to see what kind of new Rowling-written tale we have awaiting us next fall, and important for audiences to make sure they have their expectations in check Harry Potter this most certainly will not be, and the sooner fans embrace this simple fact, the sooner they’ll be able to enjoy themselves all over again. On the other hand, however, there’s even more that’s drastically different, which we now know thanks to Entertainment Weekly’s recent coverage of the film. Rowling, the author of the HP novels and creative consultant on their corresponding movies, who is writing her very first screenplay for Fantastic Beasts. And, oh, yeah – there’s also the little presence of someone named J.K. There is, for instance, the same executive producer, David Heyman, and the production designer, Stuart Craig, and the director, David Yates, who helmed the last four Potter installments, and so on and so forth. On the one hand, there is a lot in common between the eight-picture-long Harry Potter film series (which ran from 2001 to 2011) and its new spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (which is due on November 18, 2016).
