There will be FIVE more Harry Potter Universe movies, people.
As we brace for Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers have confirmed that there will be four additional movies after the November release.
At a recent event, author and screenwriter said:
"We always knew that it was going to be more than one movie — we knew that from the start — so we set a trilogy as a sort of placeholder, because we knew there would be more than one movie. But we’ve now, I’ve now done the plotting properly, so we’re pretty sure it’s going to be five movies."
Warner Brothers, from the handle of Fantastic Beasts, also confirmed the same with a tweet:
.@jk_rowling has just confirmed the magic continues in a total of FIVE MOVIES! We can't wait! #FantasticBeasts
