It turned out the rumours were true, that Johnny Depp secretly filmed a cameo for J.K. Rowling's latest expansion of the Harry Potter universe, playing the villainous Gellert Grindelwald after he removes his disguise as Percival Graves (Colin Farrell) in the movie's climax.

Graves revealing himself to be the series' new big bad is supposed to be this epic, unforgettable moment, but it's ultimately hard to shake for the wrong reasons, because Depp's ridiculous hairdo, mugging and sheer jarring presence make the moment more unintentionally comical than anything.

It remains to be seen how Depp will eventually play the part in future movies, but hopefully everyone can get over their giggles and raised eyebrows by then. Why couldn't Farrell have just played Grindelwald instead?
