J.K. Rowling. David Heyman. David Yates. The dream team who brought you the final four Harry Potter movies are reassembling for Fantastic Beasts.

It’s no secret that Warner Bros. is banking on the Harry Potter spinoff to become a major new franchise for the studio. They’ve said in recent months that they hope to turn this into a series of films (apparently a trilogy) that yields merchandising opportunities and theme park attractions.

So how can they make sure it’s going to be a hit? Today’s news made it abundantly clear: Warner Bros. is building a force of nature that is so strong and so safe, that no single leg of it falling will make the final product crash and burn.

By bringing Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter series producer David Heyman, and Harry Potter movies five through eight director David Yates into the fold, they are making sure this project won’t suck. Remember when they offered Beasts to Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron? It’s the same idea.

These three are in addition to other names likely being added, who we will probably hear about in the months ahead. For example, it’s very likely that Harry Potter production designer Stuart Craig – who has been working on the Wizarding World theme parks since the original film series ended – will step back into Leavesden Studios to design Fantastic Beasts. There are other Potter alums who they’ll also probably invite back, like costume designers, to make sure the authenticity of the Wizarding World is carried into this spinoff.

While today’s news about Yates is disappointing to some fans (just check out the comments of our initial report), Potterheads should keep in mind that this is all to make sure Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be a remarkable film series.

And even if you aren’t a fan of Yates returning, you have to remember: The final four films weren’t bad. Not by a long shot. Sure, one or two of the films may not have lived up to the expectations set by the book (Always remember: It’s hard to live up to one’s adaptation expectations), but are those concerns enough to mean he can’t helm a whole new story? Don’t forget that Yates was the one yelling “action” – there are screenplays to blame for the things you didn’t like, too.

Personally speaking, I am more shocked that Yates would actually want to come back to the Wizarding World after directing four films. I remember during the filming of Deathly Hallows, Part 2 and on the promotional tour he was exhausted and told the media that he would be taking the longest vacation after it was all finished. Yes, Fantastic Beasts is an entirely different story, but production-wise it’s going to be the same level of intensity.

That must’ve been one great vacation.
