J.K. Rowling, the author of the popular Harry Potter series of books and films, is apparently including a Native American angle in her upcoming project. Rowling told fans on Twitter that one of the locations for the film adaptation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them might be tied to unnamed "tribes" in the United States. She's keeping a tight lid on details, though. Rowling said "indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school. If I say which tribes, location is revealed." The film is scheduled to be released in November 2016. Get the Story:
