When will the Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald script be released?

How long do we need to wait until we can add another book title to our Harry Potter collection?

With the sequel to Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them approaching fast, it won’t be long until we can add to our Harry Potter collection the script to Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald.

But will it be before or after the movie’s release?

Don’t expect it to be magically popping up on store bookshelves before the movie is released. Gone are the days of Harry Potter, where the books were released way before the movies everywhere. Expect it to arrive shortly after.

When exactly after the movie, is a bit of grey area. Publications have reported Pottermore confirming the script for the second Fantastic Beasts will be released at the end of the year. Unfortunately, we cannot verify their source; it looks to have disappeared into an internet black hole.

They are probably right

Regardless of the internet black hole, Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald will most likely be published on our around the date of the movie release. The first official trailer for Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald was recently released advertising a release date of November 16^th, 2018. So any time around then.

When Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was first published it was on the day the movie was released. So it would be reasonable to assume the script would be released in stores the same day as the movie in theatres. If not you could expect to arrive shortly after, probably before Christmas to coincide with the winter holiday.

We will keep an eye out for any for an official date of release and when we do, we will be sure to let you all know.
