"As I considered Warner's proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn't dislodge. "Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it," she said. Rowling said the idea for a "Fantastic Beasts" film had come from Warner Bros, and she soon realised she could not entrust another writer with her creation. She has published a novel for adults, "The Casual Vacancy," and written detective thriller "The Cuckoo's Calling" under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Screenwriting is the latest in a string of new ventures for Rowling since she finished writing the Harry Potter series, which has sold more than 450 million copies around the world. She said the story would begin in New York 70 years before the start of Harry Potter's tale. Rowling said in a statement the movie "is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world." The story will focus on the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander, and is anticipated to be the first in a series. Studio Warner Bros announced today that Rowling will write the screenplay for a movie based on "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," her textbook about the magical universe she created in the boy wizard's stories. JK Rowling's world of wizardry is coming back to the big screen, but without Harry Potter.
