Screenplay Cover Reveal: The Secrets of Dumbledore

WizardingWorld has just revealed the cover for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore – The Complete Screenplay

A departure in more ways than one from the previous two screenplay releases, this new book has a completely new cover design, using the teaser poster rather than MinaLima’s designs, and is also no longer called the ‘original’ screenplay, but ‘complete’.

Behind the vibrant cover, this official screenplay includes behind-the-scenes commentary and content and serves as the ultimate companion to the film. Not only can readers explore every scene of the original script, but they can go beyond it with the special features too.

Fans can read about director David Yates’ vision for the film in his foreword, and illuminating insights from producer David Heyman and key cast members including Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law.

The screenplay is enhanced with behind-the-scenes bonus content from the multi-award- winning production design team, that includes costume designer Colleen Atwood, graphic design studio MinaLima and others.

This new addition of interviews with the cast and crew might suggest we’ll not be seeing a third in the Film Wizardry set of companion books for the film (Case of Beasts & Archive of Magic, both covers also designed by MinaLima, were the previous two). As of now, the only companion book available to pre-order is Movie Magic – in context, both previous films had 8 companion books each.


We’ll have to wait to see what’s planned in regards to the screenplay and companion books, but in the mean time, join in the conversation over on Twitter and let us know what you think of the new cover!

The Secrets of Dumbledore – Complete Screenplay will be released on July 19th, and is available to pre-order now.
