Idea sounds really great. Whimsical fantasy films are really rare these days and hopefully studios realize not every fantasy film needs to be some epic end of the world type thing.
Oh, I'm excited. I have so much love for the series as it is and I'm glad she's kind of expanding the world rather than adding to the characters. Makes sense.
TBH, if they had to reuse the Potter universe, I would have preferred something similar to IGN's April Fools joke TV series, The Aurors. But I guess I'm OK with it been that it's not going to actually connect to the main series outside of abiding by it's "rules".

JKR has created exactly what she says she has, a UNIVERSE. She didn't just create Harry Potter, she created a gigantic, vibrant world that is so detail-rich that spinoffs like this seem completely natural. I'll watch it, even with no actual Harry Potter in it.
Heh. I remember the old "Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them" book. It was a fun read back as a kid. Here's hoping the script Rowling comes up with is as funny as the book.
This is kind of exciting news. She's a children's book author. The twists at the end of the books always ended like this, [spoiler] What ever Harry thinks, it's not. [/spoiler] To a child this is good reading. I want to read the wizard how to book, When Muggles Attack.
Sounds like a cool idea, I wondered if she was ever going to do any off-shoots. I guess she's got some big-ass fictional universe everyone knows and loves so why not make some more money off it
It's a great idea to continue the universe. No need to directly tie into the HP books character-wise, and choosing NY as the background can explore magical places in the US, which is a huge HP audience.
I just hope that JK doesn't go crazy with the adverbs like she does in her books.
