Armed with this knowledge, here are our thoughts on who could take on the titular role.Īn extraordinary actor who has had more than his fair share of great roles but never one quite as big as this series woukd offer. And that is pretty much it! There are some visual references in the films but, as we don’t know them to be confirmed by Rowling, we shall exclude them for time being. We can also presume, from ‘his’ commentary in the Fantastic Beasts text book, that he was a bit eccentric (see “ beaten them off with my travelling kettle”). If Newt was born in 1897, that would put him in his mid-20s at this point. The fandom seems pretty confident that if this story is to be set ‘seventy years before Harry’s gets underway’ then it is likely the film is to take place in the early 1920s, just after the end of the Great War. Firstly, what do we currently know about Mr Newton Artemis Fido Scamander that would affect the casting?
