Apparently, a new movie

[lynn-waterfall.livejournal.com]

I was just reading the newspaper, and saw that Warner Bros. is apparently going to be doing another movie in the Potterverse -- based on Fantastic Beasts, but they said something about a series.  JKR is going to be a screenwriter.

This should be... at least as, um, thought-provoking, as Pottermore.

Sewer Gators! That was my thought, too! Though I also thought perhaps Newt was there because of King Kong? Wasn't that the '20s? Of course, there might be copyright issues with him - but I could see him as some form of Sasquatch or Yeti.....

Personally, I'm hoping she doesn't touch any of the known characters much. I'm feeling relieved that the time period means she wouldn't be doing many character rewrites. Tho' I suppose an invite from Sluggy for a party might be a nice touch - as long as Newt doesn't go to it.

I think if we get any familiar names, it is more likely to be in the form of invites, newspaper articles, and references like "did you hear what so-and-so has done now?" And probably some grandparents of characters we know, a Malfoy or a Black maybe. We know Great Uncle Algie picks up rare(?) plants from foreign parts, so maybe he and Newt went on a trip together at some point?
