The movie, inspired by a Hogwarts textbook of the same name, will be written by Harry Potter mastermind J.K. Rowling and directed by David Yates, who also directed the final four films in the Potter franchise.

It stars Oscar winner Eddie Remayne as "magizoologist" Newt Scamander, Katherine Waterston (of Inherent Vice) as a witch named Tina, and Colin Farrell as a wizard named Graves.

Two hours after the social media pages launched, they had already attracted 7,000 followers on Twitter and more than 5,000 followers on Instagram. About 18,000 people liked the Facebook page.
