From the costumes to the sets to the meticulous magical detail that goes into creating each scene, it’s impossible to deny that the wizarding world looks good. Really good. Much of that can be credited to Stuart Craig, who has served as production designer on all eight “Harry Potter” films and now, the “Fantastic Beasts” trilogy.
When you think of the “Harry Potter” films, there are a lot of names that come to mind – J.K. Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson probably topping the list. But while Rowling created the world, and our Harry, Ron, and Hermione trio imbued it with life onscreen, it is another person who is responsible for ushering “Harry Potter” to the big screen, and that person is David Heyman.
Chris Columbus. Alfonso Cuarón. Mike Newell – all of these directors made their mark on the “Harry Potter” film universe, but none more so than David Yates, who directed the last four movies. Now, along with J.K. Rowling and David Heyman, he’s returned to the wizarding world with “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”.
Since our last “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” roundup, we’ve discovered a few new things about the film and also enjoyed some interviews with cast members.
Following in the illustrious footsteps of the likes of John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper, and Alexandre Desplat, it has been revealed that an eight-time Oscar nominee will compose the score for “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”.
We’re nearly a month into the new year, and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” news has been slow to get going. All the same, a few things have trickled our way so far, and we’re here to round them up for you in one handy place – including award nominations and Pottermore interviews.
When we first saw Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, many of us couldn’t take our eyes off his beautiful, stylish blue coat. But what about some of the other costumes in the film? Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood talks about how she designed the coat worn by Colin Farrell’s character, Graves.
