It’s good news for “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” actor Colin Farrell (Graves), who’s been nominated for Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards for his role in “The Lobster”. The film, which was released last month, is nominated in a total of seven categories at the awards.

When you’ve got eight movies in a series, and three films set to be a part of an upcoming spin-off, that’s a lot of actors and actresses to keep track of – but we wouldn’t have it any other way! This year, the Toronto International Film Festival is featuring no fewer than 12 films that “Harry Potter” alumni and “Fantastic Beasts” cast members are a part of.
