Academy Award winning actor Eddie Redmayne may do the lead role in Harry Potter spinoff which is titled, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them'. J K Rowling, the Harry Potter author is involved in this project, and she is reportedly writing the script for this movie.
David Yates will be directing this much awaited flick. As per reports, the script work of the movie is still going on, and Eddie Redmayne will only give a green signal only after reading the complete script.
