The message has sparked curiosity and raised numerous questions among Harry Potter fans. Some of them suggest that “a screenplay” could mean “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, a film trilogy based on her book about the magical creatures from Harry Potter world, is planned for release in the end of 2016, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The mysterious novel is assumed to be Rowling’s next crime fiction novel under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. However, an anagram she posted Monday afternoon – “Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won’t tolerate this nonsense,” – let many think that the new book can be a new wizards’ story, possibly related to the ‘Harry Potter’ series.
