Pottermore released a new report discussing Colin Farrell's character, the American Auror Percival Graves, and his task in the first
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie.
Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood chatted about how she dressed Farrell's Graves, especially the long black coat featured in the first trailer. More on that below.
Quote:
Graves is a formidable character; he’s the wizard tasked with tracking Newt Scamander and his creatures down.
Colleen Atwood: 'Graves is the ultimate wizard so I wanted to take it to a level of 20s elegance with a touch of glamour, of fantasy. So I took a coat and I made it a little bit longer, I exaggerated the shoulders and I shaped it a little bit more. Then I made it out of a spectacular piece of cashmere that just kind of moved and had a lot of light,' she says.
'It also has a little bit of lurex in it, so it catches the light at night and almost looks wet, which I really think makes it stand out from other things. That's where I was going with his character. And then I kind of edged his things so they were very graphic black and white too, in a way that made him special.'
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and starring Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, hits theaters and IMAX in November.
