The third *Fantastic Beasts* film is set to be released on the 8th April in the UK and the cast, filmmakers and fans have all come together to celebrate on the red carpet. From asking the important questions to admiring the fabulous outfits, we have the roundup of all the action from this memorable premiere. 

Plenty of the movie's stars were out in force and we were lucky enough to chat to some of them about their experience on this third film.

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-2

Jude Law, who plays Albus Dumbledore, gave us a fantastic insight into why Hogwarts is just so important to his character: 

‘I think Hogwarts is his safety net. You learn in this film so much about the damage that happened to him as a young man. I think Hogwarts was a place where, both as a student and as a teacher, he felt like he could hide. I think he enjoys the purity and the enthusiasm of youth and teaching but really, he's also aware that there's a bigger, darker world out there that he has to engage in. He's very like Newt in that way. He's strangely a loner, and yet for a loner, he's always in company.’

TSOD-premiere-jude-law-albus-dumbledore-close-up-web-portrait

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-3

Eddie Redmayne, Newt Scamander, showed some house pride:

‘I think being a Hufflepuff is pretty important because many of the sort of essential Hufflepuff characteristics are the ones that Newt lives by, and I really admire those. Kindness, empathy, teamwork – they're at the core of him really. I won't say he's the ultimate Hufflepuff, because I know there are some other great Hufflepuffs out there, but he's a Hufflepuff through and through.’ 

Eddie also let us know which of his fellow castmates made him laugh the most on set:

‘Jessica Williams who genuinely makes me belly laugh continuously and is just a dream. And Callum Turner who plays my brother. Weirdly he's younger than me but it's like having a kind of older brother who’s just gently jabbing away at you all the time, it's continuous. Dan as well!’

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-4

Alison Sudol, Queenie Goldstein, spoke to us about the journey her character had been on: 

‘The first film was incredible. It was the first time we were all together. It is something that will always be dear to my heart. The second one was working through some really tough, painful, dark material. And this third one is the metamorphosis and Queenie coming out of the cocoon. There's something really special about that and I'm really proud of her journey and where she's come to.’

TSOD-premiere-alison-sudol-queenie-goldstein-red-carpet-web-landscape

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-5

We also chatted to Jessica Williams, Lally Hicks, who had a rather interesting answer when we asked her what she would like to teach if she was a professor in the magical world: 

‘As a professor, I would want to be really good at Transfiguration because technically it's the hardest thing you can do. Changing one thing into another is very impressive.’

TSOD-premiere-jessica-williams-close-up-eulalie-hicks-web-landscape

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-6

And Dan Fogler revealed his excitement at finally being given a wand!

‘They finally let me have one. They didn't train me or anything. They were like here is a very powerful weapon… have fun! And that's what we did.’

TSOD-premiere-dan-folger-jacob-kowalski-red-carpet-web-portrait

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-7

The filmmakers gave us some excellent insights too...

Director David Yates has been behind the helm of seven Wizarding World films, and he told us about the wizarding locations that he had been excited to return to: 

‘Do you know, going into the Great Hall again was very special and sort of nostalgic for me. Having been in there with Dan, Rupert and Emma and then going back with Eddie and Jude sort of filled me with a wonderful sense memory of making the previous films. The Hog's Head Inn was very special because that’s where we started Dumbledore's Army in film five. And then I'm sitting in there with Jude and Richard, who plays Aberforth, doing a scene about Ariana. The cross-experiences were really immense, and quite moving in a strange kind of way.’

TSOD-premiere-david-yates-director-red-carpet-web-portrait

your-roundup-of-the-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-premiere-text-section-8

Producer David Heyman, has been a part of the Wizarding World since the very beginning and he compared whether it was harder to on the *Fantastic Beasts* films in comparison to *Harry Potter*: 

‘In some ways I think it's harder, in the sense that with Potter we had the books, and the books are such a rich source material. With this one Jo (J.K. Rowling) is inventing it from scratch. In that sense, I think the Potter films were easier in some ways. But we didn't have to manage childrens' hours in these films… We didn’t have that problem with Eddie Redmayne!’

TSOD-premiere-david-heyman-producer-red-carpet-web-landscape

And it certainly wouldn’t be a premiere without some glitz and glamour…

The Characters of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore | Wizarding World

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-1

## Newt Scamander 
This intrepid Magizoologist and author of *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* has been on quite the adventure in the last two films, which only seems set to continue. Though he has always been at his happiest when surrounded by his magical menagerie, he has witnessed first-hand the terrible consequences of Grindelwald’s rise to power and knows he can no longer stay on the side lines. Recognising his abilities, Albus Dumbledore has chosen this Hufflepuff to lead a group of witches, wizards and Muggle to help enact his plan to bring Grindelwald down – which we know will be no easy task.

and Where to Find Them

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-2

## Albus Dumbledore
This Hogwarts professor is the brains behind the plot to bring down his former friend, and Dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. As arguably the most powerful wizard within the magical world, many regard him as the only person capable of putting a stop to Grindelwald’s plan for war. However, due to a blood troth made by the pair when they were younger, Dumbledore is unable to move against him. Therefore, he’s had to form a trusted group, led by Newt Scamander, to put his plan of stopping Grindelwald into action. Although, at the end of the previous film the vial containing the troth was stolen from Grindelwald – thanks to Teddy the Niffler! So, we wonder whether Dumbledore will now be able to destroy it and be able to personally help halt the destruction of both the wizarding and non-magical worlds.

The Crimes of Grindelwald

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-3

## Gellert Grindelwald 
This cruel, yet charismatic, Dark wizard has emerged from the shadows and is putting his plan to seize control of the wizarding world into action. He has managed to gain quite the following and has persuaded many that wizards should rule over Muggles for ‘The Greater Good’. Totally convinced of his power (and in possession of the Elder Wand), he believes that nobody is powerful enough to stop him – not even Albus Dumbledore.


whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-4

## Queenie Goldstein
Queenie shocked us all at the end of *Crimes of Grindelwald* when she appeared to join Grindelwald’s cause. However, it was due to her desperation and love for Muggle Jacob Kowalski – who she would not be allowed to be with under American wizarding law – which drove her to make such dramatic move. Misunderstanding Grindelwald’s vision for the world, she believed this was the only way they could be together. Now, at Grindelwald’s side, he is exploiting her ability to read minds (due to being a Legilimens) for his own ends. We wonder how long Queenie will allow her powers to be used and whether she will manage to find her way back to Jacob.

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-5

## Jacob Kowalski
Flung into the chaos of the wizarding world, this Muggle baker seemed to take everything in his stride. Yet, Queenie’s decision to join Grindelwald broke his heart, upended his entire world and stopped him from finding joy in things – including his beloved bakery. When asked to venture back into the magical world, he is reluctant. However, his love for Queenie and desire to be reunited with her is stronger than his wish to sit things out. Jacob has become part of the team tasked with putting an end to Grindelwald’s rise to power. And this time he has even been given a special gift by Dumbledore – his very own wand!

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-6

## Aberforth Dumbledore
Aberforth is the younger brother of Albus Dumbledore and owner of The Hog’s Head Inn in Hogsmeade. He clearly has quite a lot of resentment towards his brother, as well as Grindelwald, which is mainly due to the death of his and Albus’ little sister, Ariana. However, despite his anger towards his older sibling, he is still willing to let Dumbledore and his companions use his pub for secret meetings. We guess his hatred of Grindelwald outstrips any animosity he holds towards Albus. 


whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-7

## Bunty Broadacre
We first met Newt’s loyal assistant in *Crimes of Grindelwald*, and we’re set to see more of her in this next bit of the story. Bunty might be used to helping Newt manage his magical menagerie (especially when it comes to wrangling those naughty baby Nifflers) but Dumbledore has a brand-new assignment for her. And it seems as though even Newt might not be privy to exactly what it is…

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-8

## Yusuf Kama
We first met Yusuf in Paris during the second *Fantastic Beasts* film and know that he is part of the group which Dumbledore has assembled. His motivations for bringing down Grindelwald are highly personal. Yusuf blames the Dark wizard for the tragic fate of his half-sister, Leta Lestrange, who’s death he witnessed at Grindelwald’s rally.

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-9

## Lally Hicks
We briefly saw Lally Hicks in *Crimes of Grindelwald*, but in this film she’s set to take a bigger role. As the Charms professor at Ilvermorny there is no doubt that she is a talented witch. She is also a friend of Albus Dumbledore and an admirer of Newt Scamander’s work. In fact, they have been corresponding since he released his book – though this is the first time they have met. As someone who is resourceful, gifted and unafraid to speak her mind, it is no wonder that Albus Dumbledore has picked her to be involved in the operation to defeat Grindelwald. 


whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-10

## Theseus Scamander 
Theseus is the Head of the Auror office in Britain and also happens to be the older brother of Newt Scamander, who he has always worried about (especially when he gets in trouble with the Ministry of Magic). He is also a member Dumbledore’s new group. At the end of the last film, he witnessed his fiancée, Leta, be engulfed by Grindelwald’s flames – so we can imagine that has added another dimension to his desire to stop the Dark wizard. As part of Dumbledore’s team, he is also set to see a new side of his brother, who has gone from keeping to himself while caring for his beasts, to a leader who is willing to pick a side. Theseus is proud to follow his brother in the fight against Grindelwald’s tyranny.

whos-who-in-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-text-section-11

## Credence Barebone
At the end of the last film, Grindelwald gave Credence a wand to channel his magic and revealed that he is actually Aurelius Dumbledore. However, do we trust this Dark wizard to be telling the truth? We know that he wants to keep Credence close and has been grooming him for a special mission – and Credence appears to be happy to be one of Grindelwald’s acolytes. However, he is still in danger, as the magical force known as an Obscurus remains a part of him – which not only threatens his life but those around him too.

From German wizarding newspapers to Gellert Grindelwald wanted posters, there is a whole new smorgasbord of wizarding world artistry to take in.  

The graphic design team, who worked extensively across the Harry Potter films and the first two Fantastic Beasts films, are back to immerse in the wizarding world once again, embracing vintage, Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles that have permeated the look of the Fantastic Beasts stories, which are set in the 1920s.

![minalima-fb3-exclusive-print-dumbledore-crest](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/320cjhRzfA0yt8nrtF73YI/28ae50ec6b828be2adfb749135e18682/dumbledore-crest.jpg)

As always, the team conducted historical research and employed experimental techniques when creating the designs for the film, to properly embrace the style of the period. 

The prints will also take fans’ imaginations around the world, observing numerous international magical cultures expected to be seen in the new film, such as the German Ministry of Magic, and pivotal characters from Brazil and China. Other prints highlight interesting plot points of the film, such as Grindelwald wanted posters, the Dumbledore family emblem, featuring a majestic phoenix, the German newspaper, Die Silberne Fledermaus and a glimpse at a new magical train to get excited about: The Great Wizarding Express. Bookworms will enjoy seeing some new fictional tomes that feature in the film, such as a collection of 10 wizarding books created for Professor Lally – and a gilded front cover for the second edition of Newt Scamander’s best-seller, (what else?) *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*. 

One standout piece, created in collaboration with the wider film production, will display the Magisterial Chamber of Ancient Wizardry, a hideaway of the highest seat of the magical world in Bhutan.

*Watch how you go: we’ll be talking about spoilers for the first two Fantastic Beasts films here.* 

## Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law)

fb3-posters-text-section-2

It was an absolute pleasure to be reacquainted with a younger Dumbledore in *The Crimes of Grindelwald*, and the future Hogwarts Headmaster looks set to be even more involved in this film. Many revelations came out about Dumbledore at the end of the last film, such as his blood pact with Grindelwald, and Grindelwald’s revelation that Credence may be part of his family. As this film is called ‘The Secrets of Dumbledore’, we’re guessing there are plenty more truths to be unveiled... and we’re guessing it goes deeper than the secret of how he keeps his beard so neat. 

## Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne)

Many new heroes await us in the third film, and our magical creature loving Newt Scamander is back with his trusty case here. The modest Magizoologist was integral in both Grindelwald’s initial capture and the ensuing struggles after his escape – so we’re interested to see what he’ll bring to the table this time. As we know, Dumbledore is highly invested in him. Good to see Pickett is still firmly by his side too! 

## Teddy the Niffler

fb3-posters-text-section-4

Teddy?? That’s right, Newt’s Niffler has a name! And we are already in love. This is the second “Teddy” we know of in the wizarding world, as many years in the future, Nymphadora Tonks and [Remus Lupin](https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/remus-lupin) would call their son the very same name. We’re thrilled that Teddy is getting a moment to shine here. 

## Pickett the Bowtruckle

This extremely sassy pose from Newt’s other companion, Pickett the Bowtruckle, is making us bow-chuckle. We can excuse Pickett for nabbing a wand here, as it is literally a Bowtruckle’s job to protect wand wood trees. Good to see him back in the mix for the third escapade. Good luck, little friend. 

## Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler)

Our favourite non-magical character (Well it was hardly going to be Uncle Vernon, was it?) is back! And he’s looking distinctly more magical than we last remember, as our endearing baker is holding a wand here. We also saw him with a wand in the first trailer for this film. We are still unsure if this wand is simply a fake one or something more than that, but it seems to be particularly sparky here... 

## Theseus Scamander (Callum Turner)

In *The Crimes of Grindewald*, Theseus was the subject of sibling rivalry with his brother Newt, as well as tragically losing his fiancé, Leta Lestrange, towards the film’s climax. We know that Theseus is far more intertwined in Newt’s journey this time around, and we expect the brothers will have let their differences lie in the wake of Leta’s passing. The extremely talented Auror will be an excellent team member to have in the fight against Grindelwald. 

## Lally Hicks (Jessica Williams)

We met Professor Hicks extremely briefly in *The Crimes of Grindelwald*, in a book at [Nicolas Flamel’s](https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/nicolas-flamel) home. Now, we are pleased to see her play a larger part, where we hope to learn more about not just her – but maybe the American wizarding school [Ilvermorny](https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/ilvermorny) too, where she is a professor. Newt and Dumbledore could certainly use a talented [Charms](https://www.wizardingworld.com/quiz/how-well-would-you-do-in-professor-flitwicks-charms-classes) teacher (her specialty) as part of their circle! 

## Bunty (Victoria Yeates)

Newt’s assistant Bunty gets her own poster! Which surely means she’ll be far more involved in the new film. Bunty is usually left in charge of Newt’s magical creatures when he goes off on his own adventures, but this time, it looks like she’s had a promotion! 

## Aberforth Dumbledore (Richard Coyle)

That hat... that coat... it all looks rather familiar. Yes, this is Albus’s brother, [Aberforth,](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/who-are-the-dumbledores) who we briefly met in the Harry Potter series, albeit many years into the future. We’re fascinated to learn more about Aberforth’s history in this film – and the fact he has his own poster feels rather promising!  

## Yusuf Kama (William Nadylam)

You’ll remember Yusuf, the enigmatic French wizard, from the second Fantastic Beasts film, where we learnt about his connections to Leta Lestrange’s family. Yusuf was a mysterious force in his first appearance in the films, so we’re truly fascinated to see where his story goes next.  

## Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen)

Gellert Grindelwald left the second Fantastic Beasts film in a strong position, having successfully assembled a band of supporters (including Queenie!) to further his personal battle against the Muggles, after revealing he knows a devastating world war will soon take place. Not only this, but he has also told Credence some vital information about his own past – if indeed, it is to be trusted. So, what now? Surely the only wizard powerful enough to stop him is Albus Dumbledore – but that blood pact still stands in between these two wizards. 

## Credence/Aurelius (Ezra Miller)

fb3-posters-text-section-12

As more mysteries develop around Credence, his hair seems to get even longer. We imagine there isn’t much time for haircuts when you’re learning about your past and fraternising with Gellert Grindelwald. For indeed, this is where we left Credence at the end of the last film – in Nurmengard with the Dark wizard, discovering secrets about his history. So, is this Credence, or is this Aurelius Dumbledore, as Grindelwald told him is his alleged birth name? And how will Credence’s life as an Obscurial affect him in this latest story? We’ll be watching with bated breath.

## Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol)

fb3-posters-text-section-13

Oh, Queenie. The charming [Legilimens](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/a-guide-to-legilimency) found herself going down a dark path in *Crimes of Grindelwald*, after she struggled to contend with the fact she could never marry Jacob due to American wizarding laws of the time restricting the unions of magical people and No-Majs. In the end, she sided with Grindelwald as a result of wanting to break down these strict laws. We were devastated to see Queenie crossover to join the Dark wizard – but where will she go in this film? We remain tentatively optimistic. 

So that’s one Goldstein sister. But what about Tina? As mentioned in *Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald*, Tina was reinstated as an Auror at MACUSA, so perhaps she’s off attending to official business? But, seeing as she will one day marry Newt Scamander, we’re pretty sure it won’t be long before she reappears!

## Vinda Rosier (Poppy Corby-Tuech)

fb3-posters-text-section-14-new

The name “Rosier” has strong ties to the [dark side of the wizarding world](https://www.wizardingworld.com/quiz/the-death-eaters-quiz) – a future character also called Rosier was named as one of Voldemort’s Death Eaters in the Harry Potter stories. Here, we see another Rosier side with a different Dark wizard in the past, Gellert Grindelwald. We met this French witch in the previous film, who played her part in growing Grindelwald’s band of followers. Her loyalty to him seems unwavering so far... what will she get up to in this instalment?
