The film explores Newton Scamander, a Magizoologist who arrives in New York in 1926 following a journey around the world to research creatures for his book, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

It's set 70 years before Harry Potter picked but that exact book and read it. 

Following the release of the film J.K. Rowling is just making sure she continues to blow our minds. She shared a bit more information about the series timeline.

To those who don't know a whole lot about Harry Potter, this mightn't mean much. However, those who know the chronological history will know that 1945 is a significant year in magical history and Rowling has just dropped a huge hint into what happens next.

The series of films will conclude in 1945, which, as well as the end of World War II, is the same year that Albus Dumbledore had his infamous duel with Grindelwald and became the rightful owner of the Elder Wand.

Therefore, it looks like Rowling and the crew will be dragging out four more films before giving the fans what they really want - another pinnacle moment in history; a battle between good and evil!
