The Wizarding World has come a long way since Harry Potter discovered the secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone back in 2001. The Fantastic Beasts movies helped continue the massive legacy left behind by Harry Potter. There are still so many hidden jewels for facts regarding the new J.K Rowling series we do not know about.
