![]() ![]() We see some of the same playfulness that would become common to the character in the Harry Potter series during the final battle, Dumbledore gifts the muggle baker David Kowalski ( Dan Fogler) with a wand and offers him words of inspiration that allow him to show bravery in the face of evil. While there’s still the same sense of mystery to him, Law includes a youthful whimsy that is distinct. Law shows more emotional vulnerability within Dumbledore, but still has his charisma. It is still rather tame, in what could have been a great opportunity for major LGBTQ inclusion in a blockbuster series. Not only was Mads Mikkelsen a better choice to play the series antagonist, but the film spends more time focusing on both men’s heartbreak. Thankfully, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore improves on its predecessor in nearly every way. The film's rewriting of the Dumbledore family history landed with a dud in particular because Law himself was barely onscreen to react to it. He's granted with little more than an extended cameo, which feels a little disappointing considering who heavily promoted his appearance was in the film's marketing material. Unfortunately, this is barely mentioned in The Crimes of Grindelwald, and Law shares few scenes with Johnny Depp. In the years since, Rowling revealed that the relationship was romantic. Fans were excited about the possibility of Dumbledore’s return when it was announced that he’d appear in the Fantastic Beasts series, as the Harry Potter books hinted at the complex backstory of Dumbledore’s relationship with the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald. While there’s nothing wrong with his interpretation, Law was unfortunately saddled with the weakest material of the three. It’s no fault of Jude Law that his depiction comes in last place. Although Rowling has never offered any condolenscens to the fans thay were offended by her rhetoric, Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zazlav seems intent on developing the series further, suggesting he's open to working with Rowling again. Rowling, whose transphobic comments have made many longtime Wizarding World fans contemplate their dedication to series. Controversy continues to surround original Harry Potter author J.K. Following the underperformance of the third Fantastic Beasts film at the box office, its unclear if Warner Brothers is still intent on continuing the series to reach its intended fourth and fifth chapters. However, it appears that Dumbledore's adventures on screen may have reached a standstill. The prequel series decided to show a younger version of Dumbledore, and Jude Law first appeared in the second film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. He was subsequently replaced in the next film by another acclaimed Irish thespian, Michael Gambon. ![]() Not as long as those who remain are loyal to him.The legendary Irish actor Richard Harris was cast in Christopher Columbus’ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Apprentice, but he tragically passed away after The Chamber of Secrets wrapped filming.
