This year's most important Harry Potter-related news just broke: Jude Law [1] is playing a young version of Albus Dumbledore in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel! We already have several details about the film [2], including the release date and the fact that director David Yates (who directed the first film) will return. Law is joining a cast that already includes Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp [3], Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, and Katherine Waterston.
We're not sure how we feel about this news, given that Jude Law is . . . well, Jude Law. But we're willing to give it a try! The countdown is on to when we get to see the Young Pope in costume as Dumbledore.
