Jamie Campbell Bower confirmed for Grindelwald role in Deathly Hallows
 

Jamie Campbell Bower's agent has reportedly confirmed, at the Cannes film festival, that the young actor will be playing the teenage version of Grindelwald in Deathly Hallows.

We first heard the actor was involved in negotiations at the beginning of last month. Photos of him can be seen here. He apparently starts filming at the end of this month.

lets hope he's got more about him than his bland outting in Sweeny Todd.

Wow! That's great... I first saw him @ the musical film Sweeney Todd. Alan Rickman (Snape), Helena Bonham-Carter (Bellatrix) and Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew) were there also...

eh! he looks a little feminine lol well, can't wait to see him in Grindelwald

Fantastic! I just hope he does good acting!

Wow for him....he is in New Moon and now HP!

He's gonna be in both DH and breaking dawn.

That kid is GOLDEN;)

I've seen him in Sweeney Todd but he doesn't look evil enough to be Grindelwald but we will see.

He definitely wouldn't be my choice for Grindelwald *sigh* But oh well, we'll see.

he looks really scaryy...i guess thats a good thing?

Makeup can do wonders. Ralph Fiennes doesn't look evil until you get the makeup on.

I don't know whether he's a good choice, I didn't see Sweeney Todd. But remember he's not exactly 100% evil from the beginning, he's a bit like a blonde Tom Riddle I think :lol:

It's very cool he's killing two fandoms with one stone by starring in New Moon as well ;)

NO NO NO NO! I'm sorry but if someone is apart of the Twilight-ness, I don't want them in HP! Does that seem mean? I'm sorry if it is, but that's just how I feel and how much I hate Twilight. Now we'll have teenage girls running into DH thinking "ZOMG, he's so HAWT! But he was better in New Moon.." Blah blah blah.

I've seen some pictures of him recently and he looks like a 12 year old boy. But I still like this casting choice.

I don't like that he's going to be in New Moon as well.

I don't kow what he thinks he's doing with the eyeliner look. But I like him as an actor. He was amazing in Sweeney Todd.

Well I don't know if he's evil enough for the part, but we'll have to see how much acting he can do... =0]

Cool, he was in Sweeney Todd! :woot: He has that....omnisexual look to him, slightly androgynous, very wizardly.....

I think he was a good choice :D

I love how nearly the whole "Todd" cast is in Harry Potter!

Hpnaiv: If people come into see Harry Potter simply because of JCB, then they are slightly sad in the first place. It can be said about tons of actors "Oh, they were good... but they were better in ____" It happens. Everyone has their own opinions :)

Personally, I hope he takes both roles on with different characters and plays them amazingly.

I loved him in Sweeney Todd. He is amazingly talented (:

Well, he is sort of handsome in his very own way, but he's a bit scary looking, too, if you know what I mean, so I guess he can pull off the Grindelwald part physically, at least. :)

Whoop whoop, that means he'll be playing in both HP and New Moon, and I'm really excited for both.
