Potterheads are Freaking Out over Newt Scamander!
Entertainment Weekly revealed a first look of Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. And naturally, the fandom has had a thing or two to say about it!
At first, people were a little flustered.

Before long, people began noticing a striking resemblance to certain other fictional characters.

Scamander’s costume may also be inspiring a few.
It's no surprise that #EddieRedmayne's #NewtScamander is the most stylish wizard of the wizarding world 😄 pic.twitter.com/PnXg1VDTHb

Like honestly if I don't see at least ten Newt Scamander cosplays next year I will be so disappointed

I want to cosplay Newt Scamander already. True he's not a villain but I throw a good guy in every now and then to confuse people.

Yup, we have to wait a whole year for the film’s release. As you recover from this realization, spare a thought for the other characters also revealed today.
