David Yates to Helm the Harry Potter Spin-Off 'Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them'
Today, it was announced (via Variety) that director David Yates will helm the upcoming Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! David Yates will return the world of wizards and warlocks in this upcoming spin-off that is set roughly 70 years before Harry is even born. Author J.K Rowling adds:
"Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world,"David Yates directed the last several Harry Potter films so its no surprise that he was the pick for this spin-off. At one time Gravity and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron was approached for the project but turned it down.

Director Alfonso Cuaron Not Returning To 'Harry Potter's' World Anytime Soon
Several days ago Nikki Finkie posted a tweet stating that Gravity and former Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron was in talks to take on the spin off film Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them. After coming off winning best director in Gravity many Harry Potter fans were thrilled to see him return to the franchise. But in the end it seems that excitement was all for nothing. The director has since come out to tell ComingSoon that he is done with special effect heavy films for a while but he will always love the Harry Potter world
"It was a very beautiful experience for me. I have a lot of love for that universe and I tremendously admire JK Rowling, But today, for the present, projects based around lots of visual effects don't attract me. I'm coming out of a five-year process of doing visual effects and now I sort of want to clean my palate of that a little bit."It seems Nikki Finkie jumped the gun a bit on the news that he would be returning.
Fantastic Beasts is scheduled to hit Winter 2016

'Gravity' Director Alfonso Cuaron In Talks to Helm Harry Potter Spin-Off
A few days ago we got word that a new trilogy was in the works in the Harry Potter universe. Titled Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Now Nikki Finke has gotten word that Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron is in deep talks to helm the first installment! He also directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
I hear Alfonso Cuaron ('Gravity', 'HP/Azkaban') deep in talks to direct JK Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff 'Fantastic Beasts'. Perfect pick.
