J.K. Rowling is just as excited about Fantastic Beasts as the rest of us.

On Wednesday evening, as more people have had a chance to watch the film (it opens Friday, but there have already been premieres and screenings), Rowling has taken to Twitter to share her thoughts on the cast (and drop one or two brief hints about where the story might be headed in the upcoming installments).

She started off by thanking people for their feedback.

Then she responded to a bunch of people's tweets about the cast.

Eventually, she moved on to Tina's character. From the sounds of it, we're going to be seeing a lot more of her in the upcoming films ...

Okay, so that doesn't exactly tell us much, but at least we know Tina will be playing a major role in the coming films (it sounds like she's one of Rowling's favourite characters). We might get more of an insight into her backstory as the films progress, too.
