New Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Poster Teases Upcoming Announcement

A new poster for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released online Monday morning, and while the poster doesn't show much, merely featuring Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander standing in a blown up building in front of a cityscape, the release teased something new.

"New piece of art for a new era of the Wizarding World! Something FANTASTIC is being announced soon," the official twitter account for the film wrote.

So, just what could that announcement be? Well, from the phrasing, including "Wizarding World" in both the announcement and the poster, it sure sounds like they could be making an announcement about an addition to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks. The parks, located at various Universal Studios locations, center around the world of Harry Potter, transporting visitors to that world through rides and fully realized towns, roads, shops, drinks, and of course plenty of collectibles. A Fantastic Beasts addition wouldn't exactly be easy - these are multi-million dollar propositions we're talking about - but as the world of Harry Potter continues to expand, so must its tie-ins.

Of course, it could just be the announcement of new characters, new merchandise, or even a new trailer. Maybe there's a preview experience for the film coming, like many production companies have done in the last couple of years, or some as-yet-unrevealed creatures, gallery, or exhibit. We already know that the film is coming November 18, 2016, and for fans and collectors the screenplay will be published that same month to let them revisit and experience the world on repeat before the home release next year, but there are surely plenty of announcements and teases to be made in the coming months leading up to it.
