If you're a Harry Potter fan, prepare yourself to be sucked into the world of witches and wizards once again.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," the spin off trilogy set in the Harry Potter world, will be released in the coming years, according to a viral tweet that was made yesterday.

"'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them' will be 'at least a trilogy,' says Tsujihara. First 3 movies in 2016, 2018 and 2020," tweeted Twitter user and Wall Street Journal reporter Ben Fritz, according to the media outlet The Verge.

Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara didn't stop at sharing details about the movies that are to come out of the "Harry Potter' spin off series.

"Jo has a vision for this extension of the franchise, and for the first time, she is writing the script for what she believes is at least a trilogy," stated Tsujihara at a shareholders meeting on Monday, according to the publication Mercury News.

Rowling reportedly based the screenplay on the 42-page textbook that Hogwarts students used in the "Harry Potter" movies that she published in 2001. The new films will reportedly be following "magizoologist" Newt Scamander and his search for magical creatures.

JK Rowling has been keeping fans engaged and excited with her tweets.

According to The Independent, the author of the famous "Harry Potter" books posted a riddle on Twitter last week, which read, "Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won't tolerate this nonsense."
