Jude Law will play Albus Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts sequels

 (x) - (x)
Jude Law confirmed to play Albus Dumbledore. Law will portray Dumbledore long before he became the 
Headmaster at Hogwarts, when he was still serving as the wizarding school’s Transfiguration professor. (Wrap)
“Jude Law is a phenomenally talented actor whose work I have long admired, and I’m looking forward to finally having the opportunity to work with him,” Yates said. “I know he will brilliantly capture all the unexpected facets 
of Albus Dumbledore as J.K. Rowling reveals this very different time in his life.” (Variety)
“As fans ourselves, we are thrilled to have Jude Law joining the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ cast, playing a character so universally adored,” Toby Emmerich, president and chief content officer of Warner Bros. Pictures, said. “Jude has been a member of the Warner Bros. family for years and we’re excited to embark on this new adventure with him.”

"Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed 
himself to be what he was." Rowling has said. In the sequel, “you will see Dumbledore as a younger 
man and quite a troubled man. We’ll see him at that formative period of his life." (via THR)

"[I’m] excited by the whole prospect…curious, excited…I think all good jobs have an element of fear
amongst them. You know, because you obviously want to do well by it. You want to please everyone.
You want to please people, and you want to please yourself." - Jude Law in a BBC interview (via)

Cute moments from Fantastic Beasts interviews

Eddie Redmayne sings to Katherine Waterston…
K: “…she’s understanding the beauty of these beasts and…” 
E: (spontaneously starts singing) “beauty of these beasts” 
Both: (chuckles and gives a hearty laugh) 
K: “oh, I love it when he sings to me..haha..”

Quotes from Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterston “Fantastic 
Beasts” Roundtable Interview – published on November 14, 2016

Katherine: ...we often suggested magical ideas that are then tricky for them to implement. 
So when I see that they’ve ditched us at the apartment and I go running out of the house after 
them, calling, I had this idea that she sort of half grabs her clothes and runs out the door, so 
she doesn’t have her coat on then; she’s got half her PJs on. Then a little later, they have to 
go into this wonderful speakeasy. So I asked Colleen, “Do you think it would be possible for 
me to change my outfit with my wand to look presentable in the club?” And so she said, 
“Yeah, of course,” and the effects department…> [Everyone laughs] 
 Katherine: “How much time and money is that going to cost to take?” So yeah, that’s why 
Queenie and I… and then he did that, and I loved it. It’s kind of a slippery slope there. 
Because then you say, “Oh, then maybe I could fix my tie.” [Everyone laughs] 
 Eddie: And David Yates is going, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!” And then the guy behind 
from visual effects is going…  Katherine: But we did contribute in that way. (x)


Eddie: I had had a dog when I was a kid called Darby, and that was the only animal 
I’ve had. But I’m super allergic to cats, and I’m not great with horses either. I get… 
 Eddie and Katherine: … allergic. Eddie: And I love horses, and I love riding, 
but yeah, so I just have to take antihistamine. [laughs] (x)


Eddie: ...we flew back from New York, and Iris was on the plane, and there’s that fear 
when you’re on a plane that… and she doesn’t cry, but she shouts. She loves to shout. 
She goes, “Bahh! Bahh!” [Everyone laughs] Eddie: And I was so worried that everyone 
was going to be kept up, but most of the people in our cabin were the cast of the film, 
and they were so sweet. It became the Fantastic Beasts [daycare]. Katherine was 
looking after her for a while, and then she got passed around the Ezra, who was 
entertained. It was actually amazing. Hannah and I were just like, “Guys!” (x)
