Emma Thompson has finished starring in several Harry Potter movies—now she will move on to Beatrix. To commemorate the 110th anniversary of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Potter’s estate has authorized the Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter to write the first new story since 1930—The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit will be published next year, the 24th in the series. "I've always loved Beatrix Potter, as a child and then as a mother and all the years in-between as well,” Thompson said of the project. "When Mr. Rabbit invited me to write a further tale, I was more honored than I can say. I hope I don't let him or his extraordinary creator down."
