Finally, the American Wizards will have a name for the non – wizarding community.

Finally, the American Wizards will have a name for the non - wizarding community. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the new Harry Potter film to be released next year, is a prequel to the original saga, set in the 1926 New York.

According to J.K. Rowling, the wizarding community used other term to refer to the people that does not have magical abilities. 

The "Harry Potter" Saga author J.K. Rowling, as she is moving the franchise from U.K., is introducing new words into our magical lexicon.

She recently revealed what Stateside wizards say when they talk about people without magical powers. Instead of Muggle, they use "No-Maj" which is pronounced "no madge" and is an obvious reference to "no magic".

Even when Rowling has a great ability to create names for her book characters (Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy) to the spells (Avada Kedavra), to creatures (Billywig) and places (Hogwarts Castle itself) 'Muggle' has been something special, according to Entertainment Weekly.

 "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" introduces the history of the English magizoologist, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), where he has a lot of adventures as he discovers the creatures that later appear on his book.

This film is the first one to test Rowling's skill of scriptwriting, and as many fans are excited because the film is in her hands, some are worried because writing is different from screenwriting, and this may cause the fail of the film, according to ScreenRant.

Viewers will have to stay tuned to see if Rowling will find success as a scriptwriter with her cross Atlantic film in a new land.
