Written by: J.K. Rowling

Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Ron Perlman, Carmen Ejogo, Colin Farrell

Runtime: 132 min

J. K. Rowling published a new book from the same universe as Harry Potter's a few months ago, so we knew a movie was coming soon ...
