Read our privacy policy Following the release of the first image from Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, fans expressed their annoyance that Johnny Depp had not been recast. Writing on the Harry Potter fansite Pottermore, series creator JK Rowling issued a statement on Depp’s casting in a post simply titled ‘Grindelwald casting’. Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.” The author added she loved writing the screenplays for the first two Fantastic Beasts and accepts that people will be dissatisfied by Depp’s casting. “Within the fictional world and outside it, we all have to do what we believe to be the right thing.” Rowling has only once previously commented on Depp’s casting, only saying she was “delighted” the actor took the role, adding: "He's done incredible things with that character.” Fantastic Beasts 2 reaches cinemas 16 November 2018.
