So long, Lost Continent. You had a good run.

I read this as "Fantastic Breasts".

I read this as "Fantastic Breasts".

and I read that as "hilarious"

I don't know what her big idea is for this, but there is a lot of material for her to work with. Newt Scamander is one of the more interesting side characters, in terms of his possibility for adventure. Would there be a Hagrid or Charlie Weasley cameo?

It takes place in the 20's. So no.

Wonder what kind of rides we'll be getting out of this...

It's inevitable too.

"but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.”

starts there, but who knows where it might end?

I wouldn't say it's inevitable. Let's wait to see how it performs and is received before we start expecting anything. Or even a trailer. I mean, while in the same world, it's still a completely different character, so the film will have to prove it is worth seeing for people to say they want to go pay to see it. I've talked to at least 3-4 Potter fans today who pretty much gave me a "mehh" response.

I have no doubt that will happen. I'm just saying it's a little early to be plugging in a ride based on a new sub-franchise within the same Wizarding world (with a Protagonist that most don't even know yet).

Hollywood isn't out of ideas. Not at all.

Goodbye Revenge of the Mummy. You had a good run.

They aren't Potter fans. lol

 

[FutureFairygodmother]

Can't wait! The world is what I like about the books, more than Harry.

 

[JungleSkip]

It starts in new York. It's not gonna stay there.

They aren't Potter fans. lol

Yea. No Potter fan is "Meh" on the idea of JKR writing a new story in the Universe.

 

[Cupcakes]

The more of the HP universe, the better I say. Consider me hyped.

 

[Nick]

They aren't Potter fans. lol

LOL. You don't know them, don't judge. They are fully grown adults, read every book, watched every movie, two even read the book this is based off of. They're just skeptical at this juncture on how it will play out and if it will be entertaining enough beyond showing off what they can do with special effects, dragons, etc. If this turns out to be a not so good movie, the consensus was it would ruin how they look at the Potter series in general.

Obviously they are ifs and we don't know anything on the plot of the movie. We just know facts about the main character, which is all speculation was based on.

I feel bad for fans that are so desperate for something that they'll accept anything just so they can have something new. Just because it's something new doesn't mean it'll be great.

Again, this isn't me saying it will be bad. I actually think the character has a lot of promise. But it's sort of sad that fans will accept anything just because they want more.

It's written by JKR. If they don't trust her, I have no idea what they're thinking.

As for the "would ruin how they look at the Potter series in general" comment, it is the DUMBEST excuse I see all the time on the internet. How can something new affect things you love and cherish? Makes NO sense. Unless this has Newt creating Voldemort accidentally or transforming into Dumbledore, it can't do anything to the old books and movies.

I think it's sad someone goes to great lengths to be a buzz kill for no reason. :thumbs:

It's not like it's going to be sloppy fan fiction. I'll trust JK until she gives me a reason not to.
