RUMOR: Sinéad Matthews Cast in “Fantastic Beasts” | MuggleNet

Quote:

Although Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has already begun principal photography, the casting news keeps coming! It is rumored that English actress Sinéad Matthews has been cast in the film.

Matthews has appeared in a number of other projects involving Harry Potter alumni, such as Vera Drake (alongside Imelda Staunton and Jim Broadbent), Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (alongside Emma Thompson), and Mr. Turner (alongside Timothy Spall).

While Matthews’s role in Fantastic Beasts is not yet confirmed, rumor has it that she is playing a known character. With what we know of the film and its timeline, this leaves an important question: Whom is she playing? Some possibilities that have been raised among the MuggleNet staff include an older version of Modesty or – if the known character is originally from the Harry Potter series – perhaps magical historian Bathilda Bagshot.

Eddie in his Newt hair does the icebucket challenge!

Boswell is the secret coname for Fantastic Beasts!

RUMOR: Does “Fantastic Beasts” Have a Secret Code Name? | MuggleNet

Quote:

Ever since it was rumored that Sinéad Matthews may have been cast in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, we here at MuggleNet have been anxious to discover the truth! Along the way we discovered the possibility that Fantastic Beasts may have a secret name – Boswell.

We first saw the name Boswell while taking a look at Sinéad’s casting page on her agency’s website, Hamilton Hodell. Her most recent film was entitled Boswell, with her role listed as Mildred. However, we saw that the film is being produced by Warner Bros. and directed by none other than David Yates. The entry has since been removed from her profile.

After digging further into the film, we discovered via the LinkedIn profile of Sophie Hervieu that she is an assistant set decorator at Boswell Street Productions while working on the film Boswell.

After looking a bit more into the films that Sophie has worked on, we hit what we’re hoping is a jackpot. On her profile page on the Knowledge website, we saw that she is credited with being the Assistant Set Decorator on the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, instead of the Boswell title we’ve seen before!

In addition, we also looked up the term “boswell” to see if it was a clue toward it being the same film as Fantastic Beasts. To our excitement, we discovered that James Boswell was an author from the 1700s who wrote a biography about Samuel Johnson, which is considered the best biography written in the English language. His last name “Boswell” has become its own term today. According to the Free Dictionary, “boswell” is defined as,

An assiduous and devoted admirer, student, and recorder of another’s words and deeds.

It seems as if “boswell” could be used to describe Newt Scamander, a student of Hogwarts who goes on to write his own textbook about magical creatures.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them star Eddie Redmayne: 'I hope it's going to be quite a ride' | EW.com

Quote:

“Like many people, I read those books, I watched those films, and became completely intoxicated by J.K. Rowling’s world,” said the British actor and Oscar-winner. “The idea of getting to tiptoe into it felt truly exciting. I hope it’s going to be quite a ride.”

I am so excited for this movie already. Next year we will get a trailer and it will be amazing.

From Variety's article with Eddie

Quote:

“I’m on censorship mode about what I’m allowed to say,” he says. The plot of Warner Bros. release is so under wraps, he didn’t even receive the script until right before he signed on, and he only spoke to Rowling recently. “She was having to run off, and I bombarded her with questions on the character,” Redmayne says.
