The story of Newt Scamander, magizoologist and author of Harry Potter's text book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find them, was to be told in a trilogy, but it appears as though Rowling's plans have changed.

"I've now done the plotting properly and we're pretty sure it's going to be five movies!", the author revealed during a Fantastic Beasts Live Q&A session being streamed worldwide.
