J.K. Rowling has been teasing fans on Twitter and making them crazy about a speculation whether a new Harry Potter project is on the way. The answer to her cryptic tweets has now been revealed. On October 7, the British author announced that her recent tweets were actually related to a screenplay from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

Rowling started sending the cryptic tweets on October 5. "Very busy at the moment working on a novel, tweaking a screenplay and being involved in @lumos campaigns. Back when I've finished something!" she said of the "Harry Potter" spin-off.

"Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won't tolerate this nonsense," read the cryptic tweet. "Something to ponder while I'm away X." Excited fans tried to solve the riddle with one guessing that it actually read, "Harry returns! Won't say any details now. A week off. No comment." Rowling, however, said that it was "wishful thinking."

"#helpfulhint The solution is the first sentence of a synopsis of Newt's story. It isn't part of the script, but sets the scene," she provided later. Rowling then announced the correct guess which read, "Newt Scamander only meant to stay in New York for a few hours."

"Fantastic Beasts" tells the story of a Magizoologist Newt Scamander and it is set to take place about 70 years before "Harry Potter". "Newt only meant to stay in New York for a few hours. Circumstances ensured that he remained... for the length of a movie, anyway," she explained in her next tweet.

"Thank you, thank you, for being the kind of people who get excited about an anagram #myspiritualhome," she said. "Well, I'm limp, frankly - limp. A few suggestions were spookily close to the script!"
