AceShowbiz - "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has entertained Potterheads with new references about wizarding world in America. However, while the original "Harry Potter" movies offered many details about Britain's wizarding school Hogwarts, little did fans know about Ilvermorny, the wizarding school in America.
One of "Fantastic Beasts" deleted scenes included in the upcoming Blu-rays offers a brief detail about Ilvermorny school, though. The scene features Queenie (Alison Sudol) and Tina (Katherine Waterston) singing a song from the school. It originally preceded the part where Queenie and Newt (Eddie Redmayne) debated about which wizarding school was better, Ilvermorny or Hogwarts.
The Ilvermorny song is written by Sudol, who portrays Queenie. While the song doesn't reveal much about Ilvermorny school, it certainly serves as a fun fact for Potterheads to learn about.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" follows the adventure of magical animal's lover Newt Scamander in 1920s America. The movie has grossed $807.6 million worldwide and recently got two Oscar nominations for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. The movie's 4K Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray and Blu-ray will be released on March 28.
Meanwhile, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2" is currently in pre-production. The story reportedly will be set in the U.K. and Paris. Redmayne will reprise his role as Newt Scamander in the movie, while Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Gellert Grindelwald. J.K. Rowling will again write the script, and the movie is set to be released in 2018.
