Awesome news for Potterheads! News just broke that the Harry Potter spin-off, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ has found its Graves actor! Colin Farrell officially joining the production!
While details about the film are scarce, we do know that Farrell will play Graves, a wizard that Eddie Redmayne’s character, Newt Scamander, will meet during his adventures in New York. He will be working alongside Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Ezra Miller, and Alison Sudol. The cast keeps getting better and better!
‘Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them’ follows the adventures of writer Newt Scamander. The story is said to take place in New York City, seventy years before Harry Potter.
