JK Rowling is a fantasy novel writer from the United Kingdom and is one of the most gifted writers that we have in the world. Her most renowned series includes the Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beasts series which got her all the fame her talent needed. The fans are eagerly waiting for the third instalment of Fantastic Beasts and the Where To Find Them. The series stars Johnny Depp and Eddie Redmayne in pivotal roles.
But do y’all know JK Rowling’s only choice was Eddie Redmayne to play the character of Newt Scamander? Yes, you read that right. The Harry Potter author was so adamant about casting him as the lead that when the team approached the Like Minds actor, he couldn’t say no to it and agreed to do the film.
Eddie Redmayne for obvious reasons didn’t have to audition for the Fantastic Beasts and also took part in other casting decisions. Director, David Yates revealed that no one else could have pulled the look of a ‘Magizoologist’ from the 1920s, reported Contactmusic.
