The third Fantastic Beasts film has got its title and release date.
The previous films, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) were prequels to the original Harry Potter books and films.
Warner Brothers says it'll be called 'The Secrets Of Dumbledore' and should be out in cinemas in April.

That's three months earlier than previously thought.
JK Rowling co-wrote the script.
Actor Mads Mikkelsen will replace Johnny Depp as Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald in the upcoming film following the departure of Depp.
Depp chose to leave the Warner Bros franchise after he lost his libel case against British tabloid The Sun.
