Given the huge success of all of the Harry Potter movies, the spinoff Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, and the likelihood that Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald will do the same kind of business, it's not surprising that people are clamouring for more from JK Rowling.
With Harry Potter & The Cursed Child opening on Broadway this week, JK Rowling was interviewed by Variety and - sure enough - the question of a sequel to the hit play came up for discussion. "“I think we really have now told, in terms of moving the story forward, the story that I, in the back of my mind, wanted to tell," said Rowling.
"I think it’s quite obvious, in the seventh book, in the epilogue, that Albus is the character I’m more interested in. And I think we’ve done the story justice. So I think pushing it on to Harry’s grandchildren really would be quite a cynical move, and I’m not interested in doing that."
Makes sense when you put it like that, but if that's the case, why bother with Fantastic Beasts in the first place? Is it just because everyone wants to see Jude Law as a three-piece suited Albus Dumbledore? Who knows.
