Fans are rejoicing with the news that Dumbledore will be appearing in "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them." The movie was not even out in the cinemas yet but fans are already hyped and excited for the release date of its sequel.
During the Harry Potter movies, fans mourned after Dumbledore was killed by the Deatheaters in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." But now, fans are overjoyed by the news that he will be back on screen in the wizarding world via the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" movies.
The Director of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," David Yates has confirmed all the reports that Dumbledore will indeed appear in the five-part series. In the sequel of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," Dumbledore will have a few good scenes with Eddie Redmayne who plays the character Newt.
The Headmaster of Hogwarts was originally portrayed by Richards Harris in two of the first films in Harry Potter. He was replaced by Michael Gambon after his death for the last six films of the movie. Yates also mentioned that they are already looking for an actor who will portray Dumbledore in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" sequel.
While fans might be asking why they have to change the actor, they have to recall that the timeline of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" is timed to be 70 years before Harry Potter and his team came about. The Albus Dumbledore that will be shown in the movie will then be a much younger version than what they will recall.
As the premier date of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" draws closer, more updates and secrets of the production are slowly coming out. In recent news, it was also reported that Johnny Depp will be appearing in the sequels as Grindelwald and will make a cameo in the first "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" movie. The movie will be available on the big screen by November 18, 2017.
