Harry Potter Spinoff: Rumor Has It That Warner Brothers Is Cooking Up A Movie Based on J.K. Rowling's Quidditch Through the Ages , Could Be On The Works

We all thought that with the ending of the famed Harry Potter movie series, that's the end of the J.K. Rowling's movies. We all thought wrong as the internet was once again set abuzz with excitement a few weeks ago, as Warner Brother announced talks with author Rowlings that her books Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, EW reported last month.

This will be Rowling's debut screenplay, which could be another first of a few series of films about the world of wizards and sorcery.But contrary to what many people might believe, the famed Harry Potter author told EW that 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world'.  'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is a Harry Potter Spin-Off, but set prior to the arrival of Harry.

She told E!, last month that 'The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry's gets underway'.

Earlier today, EW also reports that Harry Potter producer David Heyman will again produce the series. In the interview, he says that Rowlings hasn't shown the finished script yet but was excitedly working on it. Fans can expect a story that is totally different from Harry Potter and further comments, 'She doesn't have to go back to this world, but something pulled her back. This is not Harry Potter. This is not Harry, Ron, and Hermione. This is a separate story within a universe related to the Potter universe.'

Meanwhile, the Independent reports that Warner hints of another film based on J.K. Rowlings Companion book, 'Quidditch Through the Ages' could be under development as well.  Warner Brothers has reportedly trademarked the book, the fictional author Kennilworthy Whisp, and the names of the teams: Wimbourne Wasps, the Chudley Cannons and the Kenmare Kestrels. Quidditch is the popular competitive sports as seen in the Harry Potter movie.  Additionally, the Hogwarts Textbook 'Tales of Beedle The Bard' has also been trademarked.

Warner Brothers has not confirmed the rumors that these will be turned into films, but trademark suggest but this could be a possibility in the future, seeing that Harry Potter gained world-wide success in the box office, amassing a total of $7.7 billion.
