MANILA, Philippines – Colin Farrell is the newest addition to the cast of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a spinoff from the popular Harry Potter series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie is based on the book of the same name, written by JK Rowling and read by Harry Potter in the original series.

The plot is set 70 years before Harry reads his book in Hogwarts. Author JK Rowling is also writing the script for the movie.
