With an exciting script and sumptuous visuals, the film provides a wealth of material for publishing adult tie-ins. The HarperCollins titles will delve into, and behind the scenes of, the richly textured film and its sequels to enhance fans’ enjoyment of the new stories. Books will include details about how the films were made, the process of art and design, interviews with the cast and crew, and interactive formats such as colouring and postcard books.
Chief Executive of HarperCollins UK, Charlie Redmayne, commented: “We are delighted to be publishing the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tie-in books. The film promises to be a spectacular rendering of the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling, and the books will be the perfect companions for fans everywhere.”
For those curious about the surname of the HarperCollins CEO, yes, Charlie is the older half-brother of
Fantastic Beasts' lead Eddie Redmayne. Charlie Redmayne was also CEO of Pottermore a few years ago, so he has many connections to J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's first installment hits theaters and IMAX this November.
