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.
Where does a young Voldermort appear anywhere in the seventh book?? Young Dumbledore and Grindelwald, yes, but young Voldermort?
yeah!
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
Hmmmm..... everyone is being very secretive about what is going on with DH huh????..... I like it :)
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.
IMDB says it's Young Dumbledore...Go Steve Kloves...sounds like he's doing a marvelous job of sticking to the book and more!!
erm mugglenet guys... no where in that article does it mention voldemort. it says young dumbledore. and it says his name is TOBY
LOL, when i read that i was like... what? young voldemort? dumbledore makes much more sense.
You guys are all absolutely right. I apparently wasn't thinking when I wrote all that. Thanks!
No worries! It only happens to me like a hundred times a day!
no one will ever know! ;-)
Toby Regbo's profile in IMDB.com is also updated with the info. that indeed He will play as Young Albus Dumbledore.
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
toby's cute LOL
His eyes are so perfectly Dumbledore. http://www.imdb.com/media /rm3037563136/nm2269396
couldn't remember............good reason
toby!!! that's like the cutest name ever!!! i know thats totally irrelevant haha
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
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!
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.
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??
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
I
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...
i think jamie and this toby guys make quite a couple seeing as they're playing dumbledore and grindlewald the two lil gay boys
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.
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?
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).
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!!))
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!
THERE IS A FLASHBACK of Voldemort when he kills the Potters... Obviously Ralph Fiennes is gonna play that.. WITH A NOSE lol
Hmm. i Sense a lil "WIZARDBACK MOUNTAIN" in the Makings here, lol
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.
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?
woah... I actually pictured young dumbledore to look exactly like that. O.O
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?
@Gryffindor_Seeker_7 probably, or at least he was bisexual. DD
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
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.
