The popular character Professor Albus Dumbledore from the Harry
Potter series will appear in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
Them sequel.
A younger version of the late Hogwarts headmaster, who was
originally portrayed in the Harry Potter series by the late actor
Richard Harris, before actor Michael Gambon took over following Harris’s death
from cancer, is currently being sought for the second film in the series. The
movie is set in 1920s’ New York, reports eonline.com.
Director David Yates, who also confirmed actor Eddie
Redmayne’s role as magizoologist Newt Scamander in the next movie, said that he
is seeking “suggestions” for the role.

“In the second movie, Dumbledore comes back. He’s got a
couple of good scenes with Newt… We’re discussing who would play Dumbledore,
any suggestions would be good,” Yates told screenrant.com.
The details of the second in the planned five-part series,
which is scheduled for release in 2018, have not been released, but it is known
that it “moves deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding
world”.
The teaser refers to the rise to power of Gallert
Grindelwald, a childhood friend of Dumbledore before he became a powerful dark
wizard in his later years.
With actor Johnny Depp joining the sequel and making a cameo
in the first film, it is expected that he will be taking on the role of
Grindelwald.
