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.

I was going to reply that "she doesn't know how to write books either!" except maybe her latest, the Galbraith one, "The Cuckoo's Calling"?, that might show that she's an adequate writer when it comes to one wholly self-contained work. Rather than the HP series, which she never planned in advance and couldn't finish (properly).

(I haven't read her latest, but I gather it got good reviews - for an effort by a first-time author. :-))

So maybe she will be okay at writing a screenplay for a single movie. Or, if it's going to be a series, she might be competent if the amount of actual story arc is minimal (which is likely to be the case for this special effects extravaganza).
