EDDIE REDMAYNE WILL PREMIERE NEW FANTASTIC BEASTS FOOTAGE AT THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

On Sunday, April 10, MTV and Newt Scamander himself invite you to return to J.K. Rowling’s fantastical wizarding world. No, this is not a drill, and yes, you should probably sit down.

EDDIE REDMAYNE’S HOGWARTS REPORT CARD
How did Redmayne really fare in care of magical creatures? - by Crytal Bell
We already have definite proof that Eddie Redmayne is a Hufflepuff. Similar to his Fantastic Beasts character Newt Scamander, Redmayne exudes Hufflepuffian potential. His personable nature, fierce loyalty, and dedicated work ethic make him an obvious choice for the most egregiously undermined house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. (Hufflepuffs aren’t all sweet and slow like molasses, you know.)
In fact, like precious cinnamon roll Cedric Diggory before him, we can’t think of a better person to represent Hufflepuff at this year’s MTV Movie Awards... while we couldn’t be more excited to check out some new footage of magizoologist Newt Scamander in action, we’re even more hype to see a Hufflepuff take center stage.
Not to mention, Redmayne takes his wizardry very seriously. Most people probably don’t know that when he agreed to take on the role, he enrolled in the standard Hogwarts fifth-year curriculum to get the hang of casting spells, handling magical creatures, and brewing potions before production on Fantastic Beasts commenced. So meta. MTV has obtained a copy of Redmayne’s Hogwarts report card. While the details of Newt’s tenure at Hogwarts might still be TBD, at least we can check in on Redmayne’s progress.
