Descrição:

FROM THE TELEGRAPH:


JK Rowling said she was "delighted" Johnny Depp had been cast in the Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

The author said Depp, who faced domestic abuse accusations during his divorce battle with Amber Heard earlier this year, had done "incredible things" with his portrayal of dark wizard Grindelwald.

Depp, who vehemently denied the abuse allegations, appears briefly in Fantastic Beasts but is set for a more prominent role in the planned sequel.

"I'm delighted," Rowling said of Depp's casting at the film's world premiere in New York.

"He's done incredible things with that character."

Director David Yates said Depp - whose partner Heard filed for divorce in May - filmed his sequence in Fantastic Beasts in January and urged Harry Potter fans to trust the filmmakers about his casting.

"You have to trust us and see what he does in this movie," Yates said.

"You won't see very much in this movie because he appears in it very fleetingly. He appears much more in the second movie.

"What you have to remember about Johnny is that extraordinary talent and that talent never goes away.

"Hollywood is such a fickle place. People go up and go down.

"He's a huge Potter fan. He loves the world. He was beyond excited about working on this material. In fact he didn't even want to see a script, he just said 'I'm in'."
