No comment. Maybe it's an adaptation of The Tale of Beedle the Bard.

Oddly enough, it's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

Actually, it's about the author of that book and I think it's a great idea!

How strange...

Wow, I think it could be an amazing movie...or a really bad movie...I really prefer a new HP's book, not a new movie (sorry for my bad english, I'm from Italy )

If it is done my the same team - production / costume design especially, I really think this could work.

It doesn't seem particularly cinematic though - more like it should be a TV series event ? Little worried about Rowling writing it though ...

Oooooh. I love the idea of a documentary film about the creatures in the Harry Potter franchise.

I’m worried that the lighting/colour grading for the Fantastic Beasts movies will be taken too far like it was for Deathly Hallows Part 2. The lighting in that film was so dark that I pretty much could not see a freaking thing during the main, outside the castle part of the Battle of Hogwarts. I know that they were trying to make it dark to match the thematic tones of the story, but they did not need to make it so literally dark. Even something like Lord of the Rings, which was just as dark or more, did not go that far with its lighting and colour grading.

From what has been released so far the film appears to be following a similar kind of lighting style with similar darkish grey colouring. The story does not seem to be as dark and intense as DH2 was so there should be no reason why it will be near impossible to see certain things in the movie. If anyone reading this gets a chance to go to any test screenings, or has any sort of insider connections to the movie, would you please make sure that this is not an issue in any way?
