哈迷有福了！《哈利波特》外傳將拍三部曲

JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, is going to write three films based on the 54-page Hogwarts textbook she wrote in 2001. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is following in the footsteps of J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit, and will be divided into three stories.
《哈利·波特》系列叢書的作者JK羅琳，將根據她在2001年寫的54頁霍格沃茨教科書《神奇動物在哪裏》撰寫三部電影劇本。就像作家J.R.R托爾金的《指環王》前傳《霍比特人》一樣，《神奇動物在哪裏》將被拆分成三部曲。

The story of the new trilogy will take place in New York 70 years before the events of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone, the first Harry Potter book. The story will center around Newt Scamander, a "Magizoologist" who specializes in the study of magical creatures. Rowling said it is neither a prequel nor a sequel, but "an extension of the wizarding world."
新電影三部曲中的故事將發生在《哈利·波特與魔法石》（《哈利·波特》第一部）70年前的紐約，影片將以神奇動物專家紐特·斯卡曼爲中心展開。羅琳說這不會只是前傳或後傳，而是“霍格沃茨魔法世界的延伸”。

The series was announced in September as a project, but last Saturday Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara told the New York Times that the films would be a trilogy. JK Rowling explained in an interview with New York Times that it was Tsujihara who convinced her to make the films.
新電影系列宣佈在9月份立項，上週六華納兄弟公司CEO凱文·特蘇哈拉在接受紐約時報採訪時說，這次將是三部曲。在採訪中，JK羅琳說是特蘇哈拉說服她爲新電影撰寫劇本。

Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, even told MTV News that she'd "definitely be up for a cameo!"
艾瑪·沃特森此前在《哈利·波特》系列電影中扮演赫敏，她對MTV News記者表示自己“很願意以配角迴歸！”

Although, there has been no casting for the series, nor has there been a start date for production announced yet.
然而目前還沒有準確消息告訴我們新三部曲的角色人選，電影拍攝日期也沒有明確宣佈。
