The sequel to the hit spin-off prequel to the Harry Potter saga, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, will not only have Johnny Depp as the villain, but fans will get to see a young future Hogwarts headmaster named Albus Dumbledore.

Jude Law (left) has been cast to play the young Dumbledore, who was played in the original saga first by the late Richard Harris and then Michael Gambon (right). In the sequel, Dumbledore will be at Hogwarts as the Transfiguration professor. Eddie Redmayne will be returning to his role of Newt Scamander in the sequel with David Yates taking the helm once again.
