With David Yates now deep into filming the first entry in a planned trilogy based on the expanded world of the Harry Potter stories through the adventures of Newt Scamander, we’re thrilled to bring you an exclusive first look at the logo for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
It’s certainly an intriguing image – that “from J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World” prefix hints at bigger things afoot in the future and there’s some nifty touches, such as the wand underlining that initial element and the dragon forming the “s” in "Beasts".
Fantastic Beasts was adapted by Rowling herself from her 2001 book. Eddie Redmayne is starring as Scamander, who plies his trade as a magizoologist around the world, and visits New York in this first adventure. The story takes place roughly 70 years before Harry and the rest have their tangle with the dark forces of Voldemort. He’s joined in the cast by the eclectic likes of Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Jon Voight, Katherine Waterston, Samantha Morton, Gemma Chan, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Carmen Ejogo and Alison Sudol.
We’ll be able to join Newt on his adventures on November 18 next year, so there’s only a little more than a year to wait…
