Alfonso Cuaron Might direct Harry Potter spinoff.

I am a fan of both the Harry Potter books and movies, my favourite instalment is the third one, Harry Potter and the prizoner of Azkaban. The movie was directed by Oscar winner, Alfonso Cuaron. One of the main reasons why I enjoyed the film so much was the direction and the tone. 

To be honest I was not very excited when I heard about this "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie. I've read the book, or textbook to be exact, and my initial thought was that there is not enough material to make a whole movie. I mean its just an encyclopaedia of different magical beasts, how could a movie be based on that? However, when I heard that Cuaron might direct this movie, my interest rose dramatically. I think Cuaron is one of the best directors working today, and his vision of the Harry Potter world is the most interesting and alternative we have seen. No plot details are known at this time, but I am surely going to be looking for this movie now. Just imagine a hippogriff floating through space, fighting for survival. 

This is also good news, because it means that the script written by JK Rowling is very good. Cuaron is hot as ever right now, and he could direct any movie he wanted to. His choice is a good sign of the quality of the story, and I hope that my expectations are met.
