'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' Movie Hinted in J.K. Rowling's Twitter Riddle?

Potterheads are getting antsy for the production of the next film in Potter Universe to begin. A report from the Huffington Post said that J.K. Rowling has posted a riddle that may have something to do with the script for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

A tweet from the author was nothing but an indication about how busy she's been lately. She said, "Very busy at the moment working on a novel, tweaking a screenplay and being involved in @lumos campaigns. Back when I've finished something!"

Cinema Blend said that although the tweet didn't say outright that she's working on the spinoff trilogy, it is safe to assume that she is, indeed tweaking "Fantastic Beasts."

As the website noted, if used correctly, "tweaking" would mean that Rowling is finalizing the script and working out the kinks from the story.

The fun did not stop there, though, because later, she saw a response from a fan with the handle @peruseproject, who posted, "Everytime @jk_rowling tweets I stop what ever I'm doing and analyze it for an hour."

Which lead to a follow-up from Rowling, saying, "@peruseproject See, now I'm tempted to post a riddle or an anagram. Must resist temptation... must work..."

But she soon gave in and posted a riddle: "Cry, foe!  Run amok!  Fa awry! My wand won't tolerate this nonsense," which is something to ponder while she's away.

Reddit users managed to get the answer to the riddle as they found the words "Newt Scamander" and "New York" inside the tweet.

As every Harry Potter fan knows, Newt is the main character in "Fantastic Beasts" so Reddit users think that the film will be set in New York 70 years before the events of Harry Potter will take place. Of course, there is a possibility of that being a red herring, considering that most of the Harry Potter Universe is set in Europe, but that remains to be seen.

Besides the possibility of the screenplay wrapping up, though, there remains no news about the rest of the film--not even a casting update to placate her millions of fans.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was announced to be adapted into a movie earlier this year, and is expected to premiere in theatres on November 18, 2016.

Rowling did manage to get many fans in a frenzy, however, as she revealed two new Harry Potter stories online on the Pottermore website.
