Nice article master!
This year has really been the Return of Harry Potter year, what with all the announcements. I vividly remember my delight when I found out a new Harry Potter was coming out, very possibly the first in a series. I was scrolling down facebook and saw the headline on moviepilot. Then I ran over to Snitchseeker to have it confirmed and to celebrate with the other posters in the news section. It was perfect! A sequel would have been un-epic, so a prequel was the way to go.
I would also like to add that Warner Brothers has trademarked Tales of Beetle the Bard and Quidditch Through the Ages, and that a short film is being of the Tale of the Three Brothers. Epic stuff ahead, that's for sure.
