The host of the London event asked Rowling what would come next for Redmaynes Newt Scamander, the Magizoologist at the center of the story.
We were doing some script sessions the other day, and I can tell you that we always knew it was going to be more than one movie, she teased. We said a trilogy as a kind of placeholder, but Ive now done the plotting properly and were pretty sure its going to be five movies.
