J.K. Rowling Announces There Will Be Five Total FANTASTIC BEASTS Movies; See Tons of New Footage From The First One

I hope you're ready to spend a lot of time in the wizarding world, because writer J.K. Rowling just announced at an IMAX fan event that there are going to be a grand total of five films in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise:

The announcement was made during a live stream fan event, which you can watch at the very bottom of this post. Warner Bros. also released a new featurette from the fan event that's packed with new footage, including a couple of quick ties to the later Harry Potter movies. Fans are really going to dig this.

Side note: this might mean that those recently-announced dates for WB event films could very well be for Fantastic Beasts sequels, not The Batman and Man of Steel 2.

The first movie in the Fantastic Beasts franchise hits theaters on November 18, 2016.

Before Harry Potter. Across an ocean. A new world of magic awaits!
