Last week, a bunch of mega "Harry Potter" fans got together at Universal Studios Orlando to celebrate the J.K. Rowling penned series. At the event, the die-hard fans were shown the latest sneak-peak at "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," but the fans are not the only one's excited for the new Potter spin-off. Some Hogwarts alumni were also at the event, including Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis, and they were just excited about the film.
"It's exciting to see new witches and wizards that we don't know," actress Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, said in a video from the event. "I just think it looks so wonderful."
"I didn't know what to expect," added Grint, who played Harry's best friend Ron Weasley in all eight films. "It looks amazing."
"I'm really really excited to go back into that universe, nut this time as a fan," Lewis, who portrayed Neville Longbottom, said of the new footage.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" takes place 70 years before Harry and his friends ever stepped foot inside Hogwarts. The film, written by Rowling, stars Academy Award-winner Eddie Redmayne as a magizoologist named Newt Scamander. The film takes place in 1920's New York City and also stars Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Colin Farrell.
Fantastic Beasts is scheduled to hit theaters Nov. 18.
