Heard’s supporters have since urged a boycott of the Fantastic Beasts movies for as long as Depp is involved in them.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe, most famous for portraying the titular boy wizard through eight Harry Potter films, has broken his silence regarding the controversy surrounding actor Johnny Depp’s casting in the spinoff Fantastic Beasts movie franchise.
The “guy” to whom Radcliffe is referring is actor Jamie Waylett, who played bully Vincent Crabbe in the first six Harry Potter films.
Both director David Yates and Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling have issued statements of support for Depp remaining in the movies, but that has done little to deter the controversy around Depp’s casting.
