(AFP) Author JK Rowling has officially confirmed that her forthcoming "Harry Potter" spin-off "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" will be made up of five films, not a trilogy as originally imagined.

The new franchise—while set in the same magical world Rowling created for the "Harry Potter" films—revolves around the character of Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne) and his adventures in New York City, about 70 years before before Harry Potter reads his book in the Hogwarts school.
