PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne, Mads Mikkelsen, actors of the film Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
We will feel a bit nostalgic while watching the third chapter of the Fantastic Beasts series of films set in the Wizarding World created by JK Rowling. By unveiling the past and secrets of Albus Dumbledore, we will get the chance of going virtually back to Hogwarts again and better understand how he became the wise wizard we have grown to love in the Harry Potter movies. Played by Jude Law, Dumbledore will have to face the consequences of his love and relationship with the now villain Grindelwald ( Mikkelsen) while Newt Scamander will become a leader of the team trying to defeat him. Listen to the extract from the press conference where Jude Law, Mads Mikkelsen and Eddie Redmayne talk about their approach to the story.
