Author JK Rowling has revealed an important script detail of "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" sequel. In a Twitter conversation with one of her fans, the 51- year-old writer disclosed that Newt Scamander's Patronus is a major spoiler for the second installment of the Harry Potter spin-off.
"Could you please please please tell me which animal is Newt's Patronus? Or is that a spoiler of the next movies?" asked an admirer.
To this Rowling replied, "Big spoiler." The 2016 film, starring actor Eddie Redmayne as Newt, saw the magizoologist fight off the Obscurus, a creature similar to the Dementors.
As per Potter trivia, a wizard/witch uses the Patronus charm to defend themselves against the Dementors.
