The news that Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them was being made into a film was basically the most exciting thing we've heard ever in our lives.
Or so we thought.
BECAUSE THEN, J.K Rowling revealed there would be not one, but FIVE FILMS in total – and, AND, Dumbledore will definitely appear in them.
Holy Moly.
We at heat have naturally been VERY EXCITED by this news, and even more so when we heard that J.K Rowling ALREADY KNOWS who she wants to play him.
Dan Fogler (who plays Jacob) said in an interview with MTV News: "As the stories go along you – I can't give it away – you will see, you will hear mention of your favourite characters and, you know, you may even meet their counterparts along the way."
And when asked if Dumbledore will be returning, he said: "Um, I take the fifth".
HMMMM.
But then J.K herself confirmed it, saying: "I have, of course, thought about this. I do have a name. I do have someone in mind, but I can't say it. Because if that person doesn't get cast, then the person who does get cast will blame me forever for having said it, won't they? So, I'm going to just keep quiet."
BLOODY HELL, as Ron would say.
In semi-related news, have you SEEN what Padma Patil from the Yule Ball looks like now?
If you'll remember, she was the poor gal that got lumbered with frilly-dress-robe-adorned Ron as a date, and was a bit pissed off about it.
Well – Afsan Azad, who plays her in the film, looks like a whole different person now.
Afshan has maintained a strong fan base since the films and has over 72 thousand followers on Instagram.
