Pottermore has announced this morning that J.K. Rowling’s screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be published this coming November to tie in with the film’s release. Fans will recall that a similar strategy has been used for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child with the play’s script being released in book form this July.

[…] this year will mark the first time the author has published a screenplay, which you’ll be able to buy as a print edition from Little, Brown (UK) or Scholastic (US and Canada), or as an eBook [on] Pottermore.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them follows the exploits of magizoologist Newt Scamander in 1920s New York, and the screenplay will be published on 19 November – hot on the heels of the movie’s release on 18 November (as if you don’t have that date in your calendar already!)
