Director Chris Columbus, who directed the first two movies of the Harry Potter franchise, said that he isn't interested in directing the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies but would be very keen to direct another Harry Potter film.
"I would love to go back and do another one. Not Fantastic Beasts as much, which I think is going to be amazing, but I would love to do another movie with those three characters - Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I'm just fascinated about what happened to them after the end of the last movie, because then they cut to 18 years ahead. There's 18 years there of great Harry Potter stories," he said.
But the director added that he didn't have enough courage to ask JK Rowling to write yet another book.
"I don't have the courage to actually mention that to her because I have such respect for her. She should do what she wants to do, but I really would love to know what's in her head about those missing years," he said.
Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is a prequel to the Harry Potter franchise, taking place 70 years prior to the first book.
The film, which will be directed by David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter movies, is set for a November 2016 release.
