10 Biggest Mysteries Surrounding 2016's Biggest Movies
6. How Will The Movie Link To The Harry Potter Series? - Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
The truth is that, no matter how excited people are with regards to the upcoming spin-off movie that is Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, most fans are going to rush to the film in order to see all the little nods and references and connections to the original Harry Potter flicks. And how can you blame them, really? Why else is this movie being made? It doesn't make a difference how many times Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling pretend that this film isn't an exercise in "cashing in," fans still want to sit down to Fantastic Beasts for the Potter moments. And yet aside from a few rumours regarding cameos, it all remains very secretive and mysterious at this point in time, as nobody knows a darn thing about how the adventures glimpsed in this movie - set in 1920s New York - will relate to Harry's own. There's almost no doubt that the highlight of the film will occur when an actor playing "Young Dumbledore" bumps into Eddie Redmayne on the street, causing him to drop all of his books in a bumbling moment, only for him to say: "Oh, sorry about that, chap! Albus Dumbledore's the name. And who might you be?" Because of course that will happen.
