The movie is based on Rowling's book of the same name and the author herself has adapted her own work into a screenplay. This will be the first time that Rowling has penned a film script.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sees Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne take on the central role of Newt Scamander and he features in a series of terrific new images from the movie. Take a look:

A wonderful cast has been assembled for the film as Redmayne is joined by Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Katherine Waterston, Samantha Morton, Dan Fogler, Jon Voight, and Carmen Ejogo.

The movie also sees David Yates return to the director's chair. Yates is no stranger to this world of mystery and magic, having directed four Harry Potter films.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them will be the second of two films directed by Yates to hit the big screen this year - coming after The Legend of Tarzan later this summer.

The movie opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.

Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident... were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is released 18th November.
