J.K. Rowling talked about Johnny Depp's casting as the main villain Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series - confirming the casting once and for all - at the NY world premiere of the movie on Thursday evening, and how pleased she was with the choice. That can be watched at the start of MTV's livestream right here.
Please note that there are spoilers for the film series below.

J.K. Rowling: Actually, it is a cameo in this movie, but going forward obviously it will be a much bigger part. Watching him create a character is fascinating. It's been quite inspiring to me as a writer. because I feel he's got an interesting approach to creating characters. It was a privilege to work with someone like that.
We all want to know about [Dumbledore and Grindelwald], don't we? This was something I knew a lot about when I was writing Potter, that it was pre-history - it was hinted in the Potter-verse. Now I get the chance to say what I know.
Rowling spoke to the Associated Press and Magic Radio about the comparison of UK's Brexit from earlier this year and the results of this week's U.S. Presidential elections, as well as how much different it is to write a younger Dumbledore for Fantastic Beasts compared to Harry Potter.
The Harry Potter author spoke to essentially everyone on the red carpet (and was the only one to do so), including SnitchSeeker (more on that very shortly), so many more interviews should pop up in the coming days and will be reported here as they transpire.
