Jude Law Will Be Dumbledore In New Harry Potter Series, ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel

What’s better than the fact that we’re guaranteed five movies in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise? Well, I’ll tell you: it’s the announcement that Jude Law will play Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themsequel.

The franchise was already sitting pretty with an Oscar winner in the lead role, in the form of Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander. But the addition of two-time nominee Jude Law in a role as pivotal as Albus Dumbledore makes this series even more legit.

And since the world explored in Fantastic Beasts is New York in the 1920s, Law’s portrayal of the famous wizard won’t even have to compete with those of Michael Gambon and Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.point 215 |

Instead, we’ll see a much younger version of the future Hogwarts headmaster — maybe even without a beard! Better hold onto your cloaks, because even the blurb for the casting announcement is going to get you very excited.point 196 | 1
