J.K. Rowling took to Twitter to answer a long-argued issue regarding the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series - that of the characters' races.

So far, 11 actors have been confirmed for the first Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie, and true to fans' complaints, they are all white: Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Faith Wood-Blagrove, Ezra Miller, Jenn Murray, Jane Perry and Sinead Matthews.

@Vividscarletsky Everyone in #FantasticBeasts is not white.

@Vividscarletsky Perhaps wait until you see the movie to judge? It is a trilogy and all the characters have not been revealed or cast yet.

The Harry Potter author, as screenwriter of the series, would know who else is still to cast for the series, which will undoubtedly included people of colour.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's first film will release in theaters and IMAX in November 2018.
