J.K. Rowling’s "Fantastic Beasts" to feature American wizardry schoolJune 10, 2015 - 12:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Author J.K. Rowling gave hints about the new "Harry Potter" spin-off film, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Rowling answered some questions from fans via Twitter, saying that the upcoming film would feature a witchcraft and wizardry school in the United States, AceShowbiz reports. Rowling didn't want to reveal too much about the film. She said that details of the film would be revealed "in due course." Fans are excited to learn about the news because Rowling previously mentioned 11 witchcraft and wizardry schools beyond Hogwarts but she didn't mention one in America. A fan asked Rowling through Twitter, "IS NEWT GOING TO VISIT A SCHOOL IN NEW YORK OMG YES." Rowling , however, kept the name and the location of the school a secret. "No, but he's going to meet people who were educated at [name] in [not New York]," she coyly answered. Moreover, Rowling confirmed that the school would have an American-Indian culture influence, although the name of the school would have nothing to do with American-Indian. She said that "the name is of immigrant origin." Trying not to spill the beans, she added, "However, indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school. If I say which tribes, location is revealed." It seems like fans are getting more curious to know the name of the school as one of Twitter users mentioned Salem Witches' Institute as one possible name for the school. Rowling later denied the speculation, saying that Salem Witches' Institute "was a joke on the Women's Institute in the U.K." "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" follows Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), the schoolbook's fictitious author in the Potterverse. Scamander is described as a "magiczoologist," which in the "Harry Potter" realm is a person who studies magical creatures. Inspired by Hogwarts textbook of the same name, "Fantastic Beasts" is scheduled for a release in the U.S. on December 18, 2016. David Yates sits behind the lens and Rowling writes the screenplay.
