The year 2016 has not yet begun and already and it has already been a big year for Harry Potter fans.
First, the sad.
We lost Alan Rickman, the actor who -- among many other roles -- was beloved for his betrayal of the morally grey Professor Severus Snape.
However, while the above is heartbreaking, yet uncontrollable, the rest of the news is positive.
First off, Universal Studios will be adding a Wizarding World of Harry Potter its Hollywood, California location on the west coast. In addition to this, the established park in Orlando has expanded greatly.
November 2016 will see the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This is a film which will expand upon the world created in the original Harry Potter novels. The script will be penned by J.K. Rowling, who recently released the names of Wizarding Schools throughout the world.
Also, stage play for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set to open in London this summer. This news was a bit of a bummer to fans on this side of "the pond". Many young fans might have thought they would need to beg their parents for a family trip to the UK in order to experience this new story in the "Potterverse".
But good news rang once again when it was announced that the script for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would be released in published form this summer! Of course, we will be reserving shelf space for this magical tome to take its place among its predecessors!
