'Fantastic Beasts' 2 actress Victoria Yeates talks new character Bunty, J.K. Rowling
British actress Victoria Yeates, who plays a new character named Bunty (apparently a very lovely character) in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald recently chatted with Radio Times about how much involvement Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has in the new installment, as well as her thoughts on Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore. Yeates was promoting a new season of her hit UK show Call the Midwife.
Quote:
Victoria Yeates: “[J.K. Rowling] is everything you would expect. She’s down to earth, she’s funny, she’s intelligent, she’s open, warm, and again I was nervous about meeting her!
“She’s on set a lot, she’s just a really normal, approachable person. And incredibly intelligent. A role model for me, really. I hope I could be a bit of what she is.”
“In these films you’re really getting to see how Dumbledore becomes Dumbledore. What we go through, the beasts within us, what we have to overcome to become the people that we want to become.”
Warner Bros. Pictures announces Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as the title of the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World™. Opening exactly one year from today, November 16, 2018, the film features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp.
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.
In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is being directed by David Yates, from a screenplay by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, and produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram.
It's so exciting that it'll be coming out this year. I'm actually kind of nervous, which isn't something I've felt a Harry Potter movie in a long time.
