J.K. Rowling might have let some new information slip about her upcoming Harry Potter spinoff movie, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, which is set decades before Harry’s adventures and in New York. On Twitter over the weekend, she appeared to hint that the story involves a new wizarding school, leading us to think that there is a Hogwarts in the U.S.
During a Q&A with fans on Saturday, one person asked what would be the name of the U.S. school for magicians. Of course, she wouldn’t reveal the name, but did say that there is a school on this side of the Atlantic.
The new school might also be linked to Native American cultures.
And that was the end of the Q&A. So, we don’t know the name of this new school, but we do know that the name is “of immigrant origin.”
Fantastic Beasts will be the start of a trilogy and will star Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander. Rowling is writing the screenplay and David Yates, who helmed the last four Potter movies is directing. The film will open in November 2018.
