J.K. Rowling has apparently already written a sequel to this year's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and has ideas for a third.
According to the first film's director, David Yates, somewhere - probably in a locked golden trunk, or an owl's stomach, or a laptop - the script for the second in Rowling's new filmic trilogy already exists.
"We've done the first one," Yates told Reuters, "she's written the second one, she's got ideas for the third one."
We already knew that Fantastic Beasts would be part of a trilogy, but it seems Rowling is getting her work in early for the sequels due to arrive in 2018 and 2020.
Yates - who directed four of the eight main Harry Potter films - also enthused about how working with a Rowling-penned script was preferable to adapting her original work:
"When we adapted the books, you would always have to leave out things - that you hated leaving out - because they didn't quite work within the structure of the storytelling for the movie, or the movie would just be far too long. With this, it's just pure Jo from the first page to the last page."
But first, we have the small matter of the premier film in the trilogy of Potter prequels, out on November 18. Clearly never busy enough, Rowling's even been writing prequels to those prequels, revealing Ilvermorny, the American equivalent to Hogwarts.
