"The new exclusive JK Rowling content provides a rich, 1700-word back story about Umbridge's life filled with many new details, as well as Rowling's revealing first-person thoughts and reflections about the character."

The movie is said to be based on a Hogwarts textbook that was written by "magizoologist" Newt Scamander and is sort of a prequel 70 years before Harry enrolls in Hogwarts. The movie is said to be the first in a trilogy series.
