The original screenplay of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be available for public read soon. Pottermore announced on Tuesday, April 26 morning that the full script of the upcoming movie is being published in both electronic and printed versions.
The screenplay was written by J.K. Rowling, the author of the "Harry Potter" saga, for the November 18 film. Inspired by Harry Potter's Hogwarts textbook of the same name, it centers on the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander, and his adventures in the U.S., 70 years before the Harry Potter story starts.
"The published screenplay will comprise J.K. Rowling's full script 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', a feat of imagination and an exciting adventure, featuring an array of magical creatures and characters," the press release said.
The script will be released on Amazon for $12.99, one day after the fantasy thriller hits cinemas. It will follow the two-part "Special Rehearsal Edition" scripts of the upcoming stage play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" to be published July 31. There's also an updated version of the original 2001 book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" which reportedly will be out in February 2017.
