New Fantastic Beasts 2 featurette takes you back to Hogwarts

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

When you’re asked to think about the most magical place in the world there’s only one right answer. Is it Disneyland? No. Is it grandma’s house on a cheery Christmas morning, the smell of baked goods and pine in the air? Jesus God no. The one, true answer is Hogwarts from the HARRY POTTER series, and while the mighty, magical castle of our dreams was sorely missed in FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM audiences will be warmly embraced by its stone walls once again in THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD.

The new featurette for the movie features interviews from writer J.K. Rowling, Zoe Kravitz (Leta Lestrange) and Jude Law (Albus Dumbledore) as they discuss returning to Hogwarts or finally getting to go there for the first time. All of us have probably dreamed of getting to walk inside the wondrous walls, but these lucky actors are getting to do it.  Oh, these aren’t tears of jealousy pouring from my eyes, but rather tears of…okay, it’s jealousy.

From the looks of it, they shot a decent amount of footage at Hogwarts, which means the movie will spend an ample amount of time there with this younger, more dashing Dumbledore. Part of the movie will be focused on exploring the relationship between Dumbledore and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), so going (further) into the past to see them as professor and student will be key.
