Though J.K. Rowling had already spilled the beans on a young Albus Dumbledore making an appearance in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise, the news is now 100% official.
Without further ado, we present our favourite picks to play young Dumbledore. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in UK cinemas on 18 November, with the sequel due on 16 November, 2018.
Well, we decided to take up that offer and suggest a few actors who could suitably fill the robes-and-half-moon-glasses combination.
A few things to lay out first: the recently cast Johnny Depp is thought to be playing Gellert Grindelwald, a dark wizard Dumbledore was once in love with but ended up fighting in a three-hour duel.
