We all have a lot of feelings about the updated Pottermore, but whether those feelings are good or bad, there’s one thing for certain – whoever the Pottermore Correspondent is, they have a lot more access to the top secret goings-on of the “Potter”-verse than any of the rest of us, and most recently that means a visit to the set of “Fantastic Beasts”!
Upcoming “Fantastic Beasts” star Eddie Redmayne and a host of former “Potter” alumni are featured on the London Evening Standard’s list of the Most Influential People in London. Redmayne made the top 25 in a 1,000-strong list, which also consists of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” producer Sonia Friedman, Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort), and Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge).

In this week’s Casting News, we have ourselves an abundance of trailers! With such a large and talented cast, it isn’t all that surprising that we get to see them in quite a few different projects each year. These stars of stage and screen continuously provide us with entertaining roles, so let’s take a look at what’s new this week!
Yesterday, thousands of young girls turned out to audition for the role of Modesty in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” while most of us sat at home and wished we were 12 years old again so that we could take part. While we here at MuggleNet can’t grant that wish for you, we can give you the next best thing — an inside look at what attending the auditions was like! We’ve got an interview with Chloe Hackett, a young actress who attended the casting call yesterday.
