The past week has been one of the most exciting weeks for the "Harry Potter" fandom in recent memory. Tons of new information about J.K. Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" film has been revealed, including the plot and a first look at the cast, as well as Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander.
Ever since it was announced that the film would be based on Rowling's 2001 encyclopedia of magical creatures from the wizarding world, it was assumed by many that "Fantastic Beasts" would be the story of Newt's adventures, but he is not the sole star of the movie. Just like the "Harry Potter" series told the story of a trio of heroes, "Fantastic Beasts" will be about four characters working together.
"The assumption is Newt's front and center, but it's a quartet," Redmayne told Entertainment Weekly. "So that feels like it slightly takes the [pressure] off. At least, that's what I'm telling myself."
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be released in theaters on Nov. 18, 2016.
