Fans have been theorizing about Williams’ role since her casting was announced last year, so the response to this bombshell was unsurprisingly swift. Rowling went on to reply to some fan comments, further revealing that while Williams will have a role in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, that role will grow significantly in the third Fantastic Beasts film.

We can’t wait to see what Rowling means by Lally’s “true glory.” What role do you think Professor Hicks might have in the films?
