If you are excited about the upcoming Harry Potter spinoff/prequel film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, be prepared for a dose of Johnny Depp.
With the film expected to be released in Dublin in two weeks, it has been leaked that Depp will make a cameo appearance in the upcoming film, which was written by J.K. Rowling.
With the film coming out so soon, it’s obvious that Depp was in the movie’s plans long before we heard about it. There is also speculation that Depp’s character will be a friend of Albus Dumbledore.
Gellert Grindelwald, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower and Michael Byrne in the original Harry Potter movies, is a wizard known by all fans of the wizarding world that JK Rowling created. A master of the Dark Arts even more powerful than He Who Must Not Be Named, Gellert was sociopathic, tortured innocent people, and would do mostly anything to free the magical world from the code of silence that they live under in the Potterverse. So basically, he’s a charming but evil wizard who had to inadvertently cause the death of Dumbledore’s sister for the future Hogwarts headmaster to break away from his friendship.
Some hardcore Potterheads are not thrilled by the possibility…

In case you didn’t already know, this film takes place in New York City in the mid-1920s. It is about wizards and their possibility of being outed to the general public. Though the film is expected to be released in Dublin on November 15, it will premiere worldwide three days later.
