The project will be produced by “Harry Potter” regular David Heyman, and Rowling is hired as the screenwriter. The book is set in New York, 70 years before Potter and the gang started their epic journey. The new trilogy is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension. No director or cast has been announced so far, GS will keep you posted.
