Tamaraa1903 I still think it isn't too late to replace Johnny Depp for someone who, let's say, didn't abuse his wife. This movie could be so amazing without him. Excited to see everything except for that, though!

julianna would be better if you kept colin farrell as grindelwald


message 3: by Ana (new)

Ana I agree with you both but you guys need to separate things. Yes, Jhonny Depp was an ass on his personal life and I will give you that, and to be honest, I don´t like him that much, although I can recognize in a professional level, he is indeed a good actor. It is his job, and his profession. Yes it is a pity, but personal life should (unfortunatly sometimes) should not be mesured with professional life.

Andie OMG I'm waiting for the movie! <3 _ <3

That's seriously messed up.

message 9: by Noora (new)

Noora not excited first I don't like Depp second I know slytherin will be shown as villians and I am so done with this trop :/


message 10: by Mike (new)

Mike Marsbergen Did I miss something? Last I heard, the only evidence that Depp abused that gold-digger was what came from her mouth, after she'd already proved her word wasn't worth much.


message 11: by Mike (new)

Mike Marsbergen Okay, just looked it up, and we now have his former management group—who he is suing for mismanaging his money—corroborating Amber Heard's claims. Smell fishy to anyone else...?


Amy (won't be online for a while. sorry to all the groups i'm in!) Yea totally! I am so excited for this next movie.! It's going to be off the chain

Smell fishy to anyone else...?" you're forgetting the photographic evidence, the police being called to the scene, the granted restraining order, his general 'fishy' behaviour in public appearances.

Completely agree.


message 16: by Sihem (new)

Sihem Stop talking about him when they're other actors in this movie. Personally, I'm very excited to see Ezra Miller as an obscurus and the story of Leta and Newt!!


message 17: by Sarah (new)

Sarah McCullough Sihem, I totally agree!!!! Yes I’m not happy that Jonny Depp is Grindelwald, but I love the other actors!!! And I can’t wait for the movie!!!


message 18: by Simon (new)

Simon Purdy The movie is going to be great, this film is far bigger than just its cast. Would Hogwarts have been any less amazing without Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith or Robbie Coltrane. No way. Now we can guarantee that the writing is going to be fantastic, the design and craft work will be amazing. The music will be faultless, in short it will be an awesome film, there can be no doubt of that.


message 19: by Stephie (new)

Stephie Disappointed in the Depp casting. I'll be skipping this one.


message 20: by Camila (new)

Camila Mendonça I can't even put into words my disappointment with you for letting Depp be cast in one of your movies. I truly believe that you have the power to vet him. This movie will reach kids from all over the world and the message you are sending by letting him stay is that there is no penalty for a men that assault a woman. Is that the message you want to send to your fans and public?
The first movie was amazing and at the end I was shock to see Depp as such a main character and after all the criticism you are still letting him stay? Come on J.K! You don't need this kind of bad rep. Take him off!!!!

Yesss. I'm so sad that a series of books that helped me growing up and developing as a person is supporting this kind of behaviour! And yes, I know authors don't cast movie actors, but c'mon guys, it's J. K. Rowling we're talking about, if even Cassie Clare helped casting for the shitty Shadowhunters show, I'm guessing J.K. would have some kind of voice in these franchise... very disapointed =/// #magicinrecess

Jacob Barton Who else is super excited!


message 24: by Dawn (new)

Dawn Ellen Expect No Charges were ever press apond him. Amber took some photos of so called bruise and sold them to a magizine. And when the Judge told her to go to both the Cops n a Dr about the so called bruise. She never did. I did have a boyfriend hit me. N my black eye look 10x worst then Ambers. N i did call the cops. Oh and guess what. You dont lose your job for beating your wife. But Johnny did go to court and Nothing he wasnt chargered with anything. We live in. Country where u are innocence intill proven guilty in a court of law. Not guilt by Facebook, Twitter n rag magizines. Also since the Movie is bascilay arleady film. Its a little to late, to recased. Inless we wont to wait intill 2019 for the movie


message 25: by L. (new)

L. Woodward I am a big fan of Depp and will not be boycotting the movie. No charges were ever lain against him except by tabloids and gossips.

First one blew me away. I went in cautious as I don't like the Harry Potter movies from 3 onwards, and I was reeaaaally impressed. I loved it. Watch it however you can!


message 28: by Stephie (new)

Stephie I will have to wait to see this for free. I won't put money in Depp's pocket.


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ yes, but movies are so good in the theater, though they can be better at home. i might end up doing that, but my parents will make that decision :(


message 30: by Valerie (new)

Valerie Flores I'm excited for Depp, I love him as an actor. I'm most excited for Eddie Redmayne!! I love seeing him as Newt and also, Queenie is my favorite and I need more of her! <3


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ depp? no way. no. way. if it was up to me i wouldn't see the movie in the theater. but my parents might say we're gonna go see it in the theater. but if it was up to me, i wouldn't give money to depp just to see it in a theater.

Majedah OMG I LOVE YO J.K

Colin Farrell does not play Grindelwald; he plays Percival Graves, who was impersonated by Grindelwald.

I hope Percival Graves is alive though because I definitely want to see more Colin Farrell.


message 37: by Ryu (new)

Ryu Jamie Campwell Bower should replace Johnny Depp; he made a good Grindelwald in the HP movies.


message 38: by Alexander (new)

Alexander Draganov Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, what is happening to Depp is a lynch mob. Disgusted with parts of the fandom.

Stephie Alexander wrote: "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, what is happening to Depp is a lynch mob. Disgusted with parts of the fandom."

Sorry I disagree. In the statement they made they said that no one false statements... to me that means an admission of guilt to not prolong things to the courts. I've seen the video and he does have a history of spurts of rage.

Also this innocent until proven guilty thing never seems to extend to the victims. They are automatically assumed liars. I believe her. It is your freedom to like Depp as it is mine to dislike him. It has nothing to do with the fandom. Just because he is in a Harry Potter movie doesn't mean he needs everyone's automatic support.

I will see the movie but wait until I can do so for free.


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ Yep. And Depp has been proven guilty.


Peacock_francophile I think I will enjoy this movie despite whoever is acting in it


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ yes you probably will but trust me do not give Depp any money...wait until you can get it for free it's not worth it to see it in the theater and give money to Depp. its just as good at home.


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ probably


message 44: by Lea (new)

Lea I can NOT wait for this movie to come out!!


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ same!


message 46: by João (new)

João Fernando Really happy to see Harry Potter's World showing it's branches on now-days movies!

I mean, I'm gonna speak hypothetically here because I don't want to get into the argument of whether or not he's guilty, but yes, I'd much rather wait a year (or two, or three! as many as it takes!) for a movie to re-shoot than see an abusive person suffer no consequences for their actions and continue on with their life as though it didn't happen. At the end of the day, it's going to make no significant difference to me whether a movie is released now or a year from now. But it will have an impact on the abuser if people stop giving him or her jobs (at least until they've taken responsibility, done their time and/or gone through rehab, and shown remorse for their actions). I know that at this point most studios wouldn't take the financial hit, which is unfortunate, that money matters more than people, but purely in terms of whether or not I, as an audience member, would rather wait? It's a resounding yes.


ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡ Yes. I agree with everything. Well said, Ellen.

Andie I loved the first one I think I'll love it too! I'm so excited!!
