Fantastic Beasts 2 trailer: Did you spot TWO RETURNING actors from the Harry Potter films?

The Fantastic Beasts films may be set in the 1920s right now, but they’re still very much in the Harry Potter film universe, or Wizarding World as Warner Bros calls it.

And now some eagle-eyed fans have spotted two returning actors who played characters in 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1.

During a scene where Jude Law’s Albus Dumbledore is looking in the Mirror of Erised, he sees Gellert Grindelwald, the villainous wizard he fell in love with – but it’s not Johnny Depp staring back at him.

It’s Jamie Campbell Bower, who played Grindelwald for an old photograph seen in the first part of the Harry Potter film finale.

But just before that we see Toby Regbo who was also in the snap, reprising his younger Dumbledore too.

The two actors are the first to play their characters from the Harry Potter movies in the Fantastic Beasts series.

Presumably since the fifth and final film, due in 2024, is set in 1945, it’s likely other actors will return.

And with the recent advances made in digital de-aging technology, that shouldn’t be a problem.

She added: “She wants to stay a human being and I think that’s a wonderful contrast to the character.”

The new Fantastic Beasts film sees Magizoologist Newt Scamander join forces with Dumbledore to prevent Grindelwald from raising pure-blood wizards to rule over the non-magical world.

Much of the action will take place in Paris this time, following on from the predecessor being mainly set in New York City.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is released in UK cinemas on November 16, 2018.
