Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released two years ago, which in 2018 time may as well have been a lifetime ago. So much has happened since then, it’d be understandable if you mostly forgot what happened in that one.

Name one thing that sounds better than starting the Harry Potter series over again (with an IV of warm butterbeer, of course), when cold weather hits. I’ll wait.

Johnny Depp gives first ‘Fantastic Beasts’ interview, addresses casting controversy
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F862546%2F6e9f0a12-65cd-4593-b2b3-dd56904cb7f4.jpeg)
Johnny Depp hasn’t spoken about being cast as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise since news broke in 2016, but the actor gave Entertainment Weekly a rare phone interview as Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald approaches.
Depp’s casting remains a subject of caution and contention among swaths of Harry Potter fans because he was accused of assaulting ex-wife Amber Heard several months before Beasts premiered (some fans plan to boycott the film and franchise entirely).
“Ultimately, there is real controversy,” the actor told EW. “The fact remains I was falsely accused, which is why I’m suing the Sun newspaper for defamation for repeating false accusations. J.K. [Rowling] has seen the evidence and therefore knows I was falsely accused, and that’s why she has publicly supported me. She doesn’t take things lightly. She would not stand up if she didn’t know the truth.” Read more…

J.K. Rowling’s response to this tweet about Quidditch gets very brutal, very fast
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F861203%2Faa52237e-3868-4d69-8f23-d02e9e818b40.jpg)
This isn’t the first time J.K. Rowling has fielded a tweet about Quidditch, and it almost certainly won’t be the last.
Anyone who does think about challenging the Harry Potter author’s fictional sport, though, may want to think twice. Because she is definitely 100% done it.
On Tuesday evening, someone tagged her in a tweet reading, “the scoring system of quidditch makes zero sense”.
Her response was… pretty blunt.
It makes total sense. There’s glamour in chasing an elusive lucky break, but teamwork and persistence can still win the day. Everyone’s vulnerable to blows of fate and obstructive people, and success means rising above them. Quidditch is the human condition. You’re welcomepic.twitter.com/0VYCgo13xh

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but we don’t necessarily think Tom Marvolo Riddle – notorious stick-in-the-mud – would agree.
While Lord Voldemort was Riddle’s evil persona, Lady Voldemort is the alter ego of drag performer Florida Man. But instead of slaying innocent people with unforgivable curses, Lady Voldemort slays on the stage with her dance moves.
A video of a Lady Voldemort performance is currently going viral on Twitter with more than a million views and 53 thousand likes. Read more…
