![]() We’ve always gained her approval on everything we do before we do it.” The set designers were inspired by the Pantheon in Rome “She’s integral to the whole thing: it’s her world, her idea, her story, but by being producer as well she gives a lot of input. Rowling’s role as writer and producer of the Fantastic Beasts franchise means she’s involved with all aspects of the production, from viewing rushes to visiting the set.ĭoes the mood change when Rowling is around? “There’s maybe some heightened nervousness, but she’s so positive about the whole aspect and she enjoys looking at what she’s produced and seeing the world in her head and on paper come alive,” Lewis said. “Certainly one of my favorite scenes of the film is the arrival of the babies… I have a 15-month-old myself.” “I’m dead excited about the baby nifflers,” Redmayne told me as we chatted in his spotless trailer-a striking contrast to Miller’s. Yes, baby nifflers are making an appearance in The Crimes of Grindelwald. If you couldn’t get enough of Scamander’s naughty niffler-fluffy magical creatures that are attracted to shiny objects-in the first movie, then you’re in for a treat. There are more than 1,000 costumes, including more than 400 coats, according to costume director Colleen Atwood- who won an Oscar for her inventive designs for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The costumes are even more elaborate this time around The Boggart shape-shifts to reveal Newt’s worst fear: working in an office. The lengthier Crimes of Grindelwald trailer contains a short scene that takes place at Hogwarts, where a young Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) faces a Boggart during a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson taught by Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law). “Our characters and where they work start to bring in Hogwarts and that world.” Waterston (another Londoner, for those keeping score) has been publicly critical of JK Rowling’s transphobic rhetoric, so fans are left to speculate if this has had an impact on how her slice of the story will be told going forward, or if it’s merely some spoiler-avoidant editing in service of some narrative surprise.“In this film we start to bring in a bit of Hogwarts, which I think will be great for the fans who missed not having so much of the Potter world in the first film,” producer Tim Lewis told me. Fans who have seen the trailers and promo materials for this third Fantastic Beasts film have noticed the character’s veritable absence, despite being officially listed as a cast member, and being an indispensable aspect of Newt’s life story. She is a character who decides for herself what is just, even if her bosses disagree, and it is this righteousness that makes her a valuable partner to the good guys of the story. She’s a New Yorker and a graduate of America’s wizarding school. Ostensibly the female lead of the series, and Newt’s primary love interest (especially now that Zoë Kravitz’s Leta Lestrange is out of the picture), Tina ( Katherine Waterston) is an auror, which is the wizarding world’s version of law-enforcement. As the Beasts films worked to get their cultural footing, Newt proved to be one of the easier elements of them to embrace. Having an Oscar caliber actor in such a role is an age-old cheat code when the stakes are that high, and Redmayne sells Scamander’s curiosity, awkwardness, and bravery with veteran ease. The budding franchise’s success hinged, in part, on successfully selling Newt’s likability and the plausibility of his continued proximity to mortal peril. Redmayne had to step into the wizard world playing a fully formed man, one who many casual fans had of only in passing. The year after that, he debuted in the role of Newt Scamander, a British wizard fascinated with magical creatures.ĭaniel Radcliffe had many Harry Potter films to grow into the young man people picture when they think of that character. He was nominated the following year for his role in The Danish Girl. ![]() Before picking up his magic wand, the most high-profile work of the actor’s career was arguably 2014’s Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything, which earned the actor that film’s sole Academy Award. ![]() ![]() Star of the stage and screen since 1998, London-born Eddie Redmayne toplines the ensemble cast as the charmingly idiosyncratic Hufflepuff alum. ![]()
