'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' Movie Spoilers & Updates: JK Rowling Drops Cryptic Clues With New Twitter Header

The highly-anticipated "Harry Potter" spinoff, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," is still in an embryonic stage with the entire cast still not in place. In fact, the key roles in the film are still up for grabs and fans, at the moment, could only scratch the surface story-wise.

Thankfully, author J.K. Rowling, who is presently working on the script for the flick, never runs out of energy and enthusiasm to tease fans more about Newt Scamander's silver screen arrival.

In fact, she makes it all the more interesting (as if getting updates Potter-related isn't already thrilling) by sprinkling the clues all over her seemingly simple Twitter account header as if inviting fans in a new, exciting quest.

According to Hypable, the acclaimed novelist recently updated her header in Twitter with what looked like pages from the script she is writing for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." She made them harder to read by partially covering them with notebooks shaped into her initials.

As spotted by the site, the big letter R wasn't able to conceal the name Jacob, who as fans know, is Newt's nemesis in the film. There is a line under his typed name, but there is no way of knowing what it is. Snitchseekers attempted to put together all the visible words, but collectively, it's still hard to tell.

Hypable says it is something of a wisecrack to Newt. Variety reports that Michael Cera and Josh Gad are vying to play as Jacob in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

Radio Times also spotted behind the K-shaped notebook words from the Hogwarts Sorting Hat song and they are handwritten. The site also points out that there are also crossed out words and phrases as well as what look like research notes about prosthetics. Some words, although visible, are just too difficult to fathom.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" stars Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne as the magizoologist Newt. The film follows his exploits to find and identify different magical creatures and mystic beasts. Ezra Miller, as Books N Review previously reported, is up for the role of Kredan, who Newt meets in New York. Katherine Waterston is the American witch, Porpentina, while Alison Sudol may end up snatching the role of Porpentina's younger sister, Queenie.

As per Venture Capital Post, actor Robert Lindsay has also expressed his interest in joining the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" cast. He tweeted Rowling recently inquiring her of a role that can be essayed by an "ageing mildly comedic actor currently bearded but willing to shave" such as himself.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is slated to release next year.
