Eddie on Newt's outfit in the new movie: “-Laughing– When we see Newt for the first time,
he is surrounded by bureaucracy, the least comfortable place for him, and he does not feel right
in his environment. Colleen, the costume designer, thought to give him a tie or bow tie and a new
outfit. But whist acting with this new outfit, it seemed like he was a totally different person and
we said, “Oh no no no, back to the comfort zone”. We tried to see if it was possible, to change his
silhouette, with different colours. So, we changed the costume, but it’s a more modified version.”
Q: JK Rowling has created Newt very early during the building of her universe. To know
in advance what will be his fate, who he is going to marry, etc. Has this affected you?
A: "The first thing I have done is to read the book where we learn all those information
about him and Tina living in the countryside. It was on my mind but I also took into account
the tone and the way Newt has created Fantastic Beasts because she (JK) has written it with
the idea of doing a series. I did not use it as a model to define his voice, if it makes sense.
But what was really interesting for me was to record the audio book after the first movie. It
was amazing to listen to Newt talking, his way of using words and it was a happy coincidence.
But Katherine and me, are aware about the conclusion for Newt and Tina, and Jo told us that
this will be slow build. This is a thing I like, the fact that the end of the movie is the start
of something, that will bring a lot of miscommunication in the second one. We have two
persons who are really incompetent at articulating emotions and trying to find each other."
