Toby Regbo confirmed to play Young Dumbledore?
Toby Regbo confirmed to play Young Dumbledore? A new interview with Jamie Campbell-Bower in Wonderland Magazine has revealed that the actor who plays Grindelwald recently completed a scene with an actor who will play Young Dumbledore for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

While Jamie couldn't remember who it was at the time, the magazine apparently looked into it and names Toby Regbo.

You can view scans of the article where Jamie revealed this information right here via Snitch Seeker. We're working on confirming Toby's role and will keep you updated!

This guy is rumored to play young Dumbledore, not young Voldemort.


Posted by Bookie Nov 9th 2009

Where does a young Voldermort appear anywhere in the seventh book?? Young Dumbledore and Grindelwald, yes, but young Voldermort?


Posted by heathlestrange Nov 9th 2009

yeah!


Posted by tomj321 Nov 9th 2009

No no no. has jamie been getting his facts wrong again? this guy is young dumbledore. and i thought his name was Toby not tony


Posted by lvndeday Nov 9th 2009

Hmmmm..... everyone is being very secretive about what is going on with DH huh????..... I like it :)


Posted by sleeper9 Nov 9th 2009

It says on his IMDb that he's playing young dumbledore! lol. voldemort. that would be silly really. how could young voldemort know young grindlewald.


Posted by HeRonfan Nov 9th 2009

IMDB says it's Young Dumbledore...Go Steve Kloves...sounds like he's doing a marvelous job of sticking to the book and more!!


Posted by tomj321 Nov 9th 2009

erm mugglenet guys... no where in that article does it mention voldemort. it says young dumbledore. and it says his name is TOBY


Posted by jojoinpink54 Nov 9th 2009

LOL, when i read that i was like... what? young voldemort? dumbledore makes much more sense.


Posted by Andrew Nov 9th 2009

You guys are all absolutely right. I apparently wasn't thinking when I wrote all that. Thanks!


Posted by bookwormoakes Nov 9th 2009

No worries! It only happens to me like a hundred times a day!


Posted by tomj321 Nov 9th 2009

no one will ever know! ;-)


Posted by PinoyDeathEater Nov 9th 2009

Toby Regbo's profile in IMDB.com is also updated with the info. that indeed He will play as Young Albus Dumbledore.


Posted by hpninjaskills Nov 9th 2009

Lol, you guys, chill, it's just a mistake that Mugglenet wrote! :) When I read "Voldemort" on Twitter I was soooo confused and angry that they'd recast ANOTHER young Voldemort. Haha. Anyway, I'm also glad they're sticking to the book. I think this time around they'll really please us! *hopefully..

toby's cute LOL

His eyes are so perfectly Dumbledore. http://www.imdb.com/media /rm3037563136/nm2269396


Posted by MUHAHAHA Nov 9th 2009

couldn't remember............good reason


Posted by krazykobra29 Nov 9th 2009

toby!!! that's like the cutest name ever!!! i know thats totally irrelevant haha


Posted by morsmordre79 Nov 9th 2009

is it just me, or does it seem kinda sad that jamie can't remember the name of the person he was working with? lol


Posted by kapuffy26 Nov 9th 2009

You see, it's moments like this when I'm really glad they decided to cut the film in two. If it would have been one film, you better bet this whole young Dumbledore and Grindelwald business would have been cut out. I trust Steve Kloves with the source material; he's a huge fan of the books, and I'm sure (knowing this is the last one), he's going to want to end the series in a BANG! Tony Regbo looks like a worthy young Dumbledore; he's a good pick. I'm really excited for this movie to come out. It's gonna rock!


Posted by Firestorm Nov 9th 2009

He does look like a young version of Michael Gambon, especially in this photo on the imdb http://www.imdb.com/media /rm228952064/nm2269396 . But I think if Richard Harris was still playing Dumbledore, Jamie would've been Dumbledore, and Toby would've played Grindelwald.


Posted by iwantorlando05 Nov 9th 2009

He's cute. I saw an older picture of him and I like the way he looks. I wonder how much of the Dumbledore/Grindlewald storyline they're going to keep in there??


Posted by EmilyAnn89 Nov 10th 2009

I wonder if Dumbledore and Grindlewald's relationship will be more explicit in the movie than in the book. Does anyone think WB will try to play it up now that we all know that the were together? (or at least that Dumbledore had feelings for Grindlewald, I


Posted by EmilyAnn89 Nov 10th 2009

I


Posted by shielded117 Nov 10th 2009

That's the thing that gets me... Jamie said that they were lovers... The book never actually said they were together. And the whole Dumbledore having feelings for Grindelwald was revealed in an interview... Not that I really care, but I'm wondering what angle WB is going to take this...


Posted by hogwarts_is_my_home Nov 10th 2009

i think jamie and this toby guys make quite a couple seeing as they're playing dumbledore and grindlewald the two lil gay boys


Posted by Kamion Nov 10th 2009

in spite of being at the age Dumbledore was at that period this kid looks far too young. We can deduce Dumbledore as being 18 - just left Hogwarts and Regbo is born in 1991, so it would fit. Nevertheless he doesn't look elder then a cute 14 year old. Curious how it will match with JCB. @hogwarts_is_my_h ome : don't expect too much of the gay status of either Dumbledore or Grindlewald other then gay as merry. JKR did not mention Grindy in the intervieuw and in the book it was not prominent at all. Warner is about the last compagny to emphasise something that was nothing more then an after publication footnote.


Posted by Veggie_Potter Nov 10th 2009

I think he could work well. This certainly could be interesting, because I, like Harry, finds it weird to look at a young Dumbledore because it seems as he sprung into being like we know him best! Nonetheless, does anyone know when or where they will post those pictures from Halloween that we sent in?


Posted by Ravenxl7 Nov 10th 2009

Looks like he'll fit the part nicely, though he does look slightly young for the part (wouldn't be hard to age him up a bit).


Posted by Willowrose Nov 10th 2009

Cutie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! This oddly makes me even MORE exciting for the DH films!!! But yeah, although i agree that this kid and the other kid are both very pretty, I really don't think we're going to get much "action" in terms of their relationship (looking over some of the questions/comments above^^)) A fond look here and there possibly, which would be nice, but that's about it!! The movies won't do anything more than the book, only spice whatever is already there up a bit maybe!! Either way, *two BIG thumbs up*!!!!!!!! (If he is indeed really in this film. And so far looks like all evidence points to it being so!!))


Posted by Im_No_Muggle Nov 10th 2009

Hmm...I cannot think of where a young Voldemort appears in DH. Maybe Voldemort will have a flashback or something like that. But I doubt that this person playing young Dumbledore will have much screen time. He might just be in the picture in The Life and Lies. Sutpid Skeeter!


Posted by phoenixknighter Nov 10th 2009

THERE IS A FLASHBACK of Voldemort when he kills the Potters... Obviously Ralph Fiennes is gonna play that.. WITH A NOSE lol


Posted by phoenixknighter Nov 10th 2009

Hmm. i Sense a lil "WIZARDBACK MOUNTAIN" in the Makings here, lol


Posted by kapuffy26 Nov 10th 2009

I doubt Yates is going to delve into Dumbledore's sexuality here, especially since J.K. Rowling does not go into great detail about Grindewald and Dumbledore's relationship... and, as you all know by now, the movies have not really kept up with the minute details of the book.


Posted by Gryffindor_Seeker_7 Nov 10th 2009

Well, I think this guy will be a good Dumbledore. I definitely approve. But it is absolutely AWFUL that Jamie couldn't remember what his name was. He should have at least Googled it before doing any interviews. Sheesh. LOL, phoenixknighter, Ralph Fiennes with a nose finally, good point! I have no ideaa what his nose really looks like! I do have one question about this whole thing though: Since Dumbledore loved Grindelwald, is Grindelwald gay too?


Posted by ginmo Nov 10th 2009

woah... I actually pictured young dumbledore to look exactly like that. O.O


Posted by HeRonfan Nov 10th 2009

OK, maybe I'm half asleep reading the above, but...Why would Voldemort have a nose when he kills the Potters? Hadn't he already transformed himself by that point? (Replacing eyes for nose that is for the movies--which thank God they did. Looking at red eyes--yuck!) P.S. Does anyone notice a timeline problem with the duel between G and Dmbldr? I thought Aberforth said that it was only about 5 years later, after Arianna was killed that the duel took place. If Albus was born in 1881 then the 1945 duel would not have happened then. Did I miss something?


Posted by Vipertooth23 Nov 11th 2009

@Gryffindor_Seeker_7 probably, or at least he was bisexual. DD


Posted by Twin_of_Ron Nov 12th 2009

Can't judge off a still picture, but hopefully he'll do well. Gryffindor_Seeker_7 he probably could but might not be allowed to say? Maybe


Posted by Twin_of_Ron Nov 12th 2009

Also, Mugglenet you have a bad picture of him, makes him look 5 , there's a newer one of him which is MUCH better, and he's 18 so perfect age.
