9 Reveals From Our 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' Set Visit6 of 11
Young Dumbledore and the Return to Hogwarts
Jude Law plays a young version of Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts sequel. The future headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor when we meet him in the upcoming film.
Director David Yates told us: "We're seeing Dumbledore as a young man and Dumbledore as a young man is quite a rebel. He's quite complicated. He's far from perfect. He's an inspiring teacher. All the pupils love him. But, as ever, being Dumbledore, he's a wonderful manipulator and he has this incredible ability to sort of maneuver people into situations that they may not want to be maneuvered into."
His own formidable powers notwithstanding, Dumbledore is unable to move against Grindelwald himself — for reasons he alone knows — and must rely on Newt to try and thwart the Dark wizard’s plans.
