It's a good time to be a Harry Potter fan.

Not only will this summer see a new two-part play - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - revisit JK Rowling's wizarding world but an adaptation of her prequel spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will arrive in cinemas this November.

The film, directed by David Yates, has been penned by Rowling herself - the author's first screenplay - and it's now been revealed that said script will be published as an eBook by official website Pottermore following the feature's release.

Print editions and eBooks will be released simultaneously courtesy of Little Brown and Pottermore on 19th November. They'll reportedly be priced at £9.

Despite being 128 pages in length, the film - following the travails of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) - is confirmed to be the first part of a trilogy.

Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell and Ron Perlman will also star in the period adventure set in America 70 years before Harry Potter begins.

A few months back, Rowling wrote a four-part prologue to the film which inducted Pottermore followers into a new place and time within the universe.

Stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 and 2 will be published on 31 July, the day after its release in the London West End.
