Rowling’s book out in November

Little, Brown Book Group recently announced that it will publish the original screenplay of ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ by JK Rowling on November 16, 2018 to coincide with the film’s worldwide release in cinemas. 

Set in JK Rowling’s wizarding world, the second of the five-film series that began with ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ moves from New York to London and on to Paris. Expanding on earlier events that helped shape the wizarding world, the story has some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films.

The published screenplay will comprise JK Rowling’s full script of ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’, featuring a cast of both familiar and new magical creatures and characters.

The English language hardback print editions will be published by Little, Brown Book Group in the UK, and Scholastic in the US and Canada, while the eBook edition is to be simultaneously published by Pottermore, the global digital publisher of JK Rowling’s Wizarding World.
