Personally, I hadn’t yet managed to get my head around the fact that we’re being blessed with a SINGLE Fantastic Beasts<\/i> movie, much less an entire trilogy. And then J.K. Rowling was like, “Nah, scratch the trilogy thing; we’re doing a full-fledged SAGA.”<\/p>\n

It’s been confirmed<\/a>: the “trilogy” verbiage was merely a placeholder. Now that J.K. Rowling has done the “proper plotting,” she’s willing to reveal that we’re looking at five movies’ worth of Eddie Redmayne. Five!<\/p>\n

Is five too many? I don’t know. Maybe. What I do know is that every time I see any sort of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them<\/em> content, my heart swells three sizes and I do weird, excited things with my face. I also know that I can now answer the question “Where do you see yourself in five years?” with “Berobed in my wizarding best in the front row of my local theater, that’s where. Possibly forcibly evacuating several small children, because I was there first, I had a sweater draped across five seats and that’s what the sweater MEANS.” Take that, Mom and Dad. Of course I have a five-year plan.<\/p>\n

And the five-film saga is just the tip of the good-news iceberg. The Potter movies are playing in theaters again<\/a> until October 20th, and fans who attended a special global fan event yesterday got a sneak peek at the first ten minutes of Fantastic Beasts.<\/i><\/p>\n
