From
knowing nothing, to learning that Newt's (Eddie Redmayne) briefcase is the crux
of the movie, Warner Bros. has now shed some additional light on Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them, the upcoming prequel/spinoff to Harry Potter,
which J.K. Rowling wrote and David Yates is directing.
The studio
has unveiled a series of character descriptions for some of the main characters
starring in the first film of the new franchise.
Eddie
Redmayne as Newt Scamander
An
eccentric globe-hopping English "magizoologist" wizard who's far more
comfortable around beasts and creatures than he is around other people. Comes
to New York on a quest with his case full of magical habitats containing rare
and endangered species.
Katherine Waterston as Porpentina "Tina"
Goldstein
An
ambitious worker at the Magical Congress of the United States of America (aka
MACUSA, the U.S. version of the Ministry of Magic) who meets Newt. Tina is
relegated to an office well below her abilities after she stood up for the
wrong person. She longs to fight for what's right.
Alison Sudol as Queenie Goldstein
Tina's
younger sister and roommate, a big-hearted free-spirit "legilimens"
who can read minds.
Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski
An
optimistic No-Maj (aka Muggle) factory
worker/aspiring baker who gets introduced to the wizarding world when he meets
Newt. Fun fact: He's the Harry Potter franchise's
first Muggle main character.
Colin Farrell as
Graves
A
powerful auror and the right-hand man of the American wizarding world's
president.
Samantha Morton as Mary Lou
The
narrow-minded leader of the fanatical Second Salemers, a group looking to
expose and destroy wizards and witches.
Ezra Miller as Credence
Perhaps
the cast's most mysterious character. He's Mary Lou's troubled adopted son.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens on November
18, 2016, and also stars Jenn Murray, Faith Wood-Blagrove, Jon Voight, and Ron
Perlman.
