Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
Who are your picks? No script yet but based on the current crop I have some Ideas...
I have 4 Picks... ![]() Of course Evanna... Cant be one without her... Either as a Cameo or a full role playing a Lovegood Ancestor, though if she plays an ancestor she has to play it less Luna and more like some else. Perhaps... She could be The "Hermione" on this one ![]() ![]() Then you need an authority figure... May I present Tom "Bane" Hardy in a beard! ![]() Now you need a "Dumbledore" Who else But Ian Mckellen For Cameos... I'll post mine later...

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
Which Dumbledore? Albus' father died in Azkaban, and he was probably dead by the 1910s-1920s (roughly 75 years before HP). There doesn't seem to have been any other family for Kendra or Albus to turn to, so an older Dumbledore does not seem like a promising idea to me. A cameo by a youngish Albus or Aberforth might be nice though... but not in the first film, I think. That is something I would save for further down the line.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
I think the best course would be to steer clear of any casting associations as cameos can smack of desperation at times.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
I certainly agree for the first film. For the rest... depends on the over-arching plot and the context.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
It'd be kind of hard to fit many old characters in these movies, simply because they're in New York. I could see a young Albus Dumbledore being in it--maybe before Newt leaves for America?
The big questions is, who should play Newt?--seeing as he's the only character we actually know is in the movie. JKR said that the movie would take place 70 years before the HP books, which puts it in the 1920s. Newt Scamander was born in 1897, so he would be in his 20s in the '20s. What young actors could we see playing him? I'll venture Matt Smith, just to get it out of the way...

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
I think someone like Tom Hiddleston would be an ideal choice for the role of Newt. He has a real charm and intelligence that I think would fit the character well. After playing Loki, he's definitely a rising star and has enough name recognition. James McAvoy would be an interesting choice too.

I'm all for James McAvoy or Colin Morgan for Newt, but I doubt it'll be either of them.

Simon Pegg or Martin Freeman.

Still, wild speculation is fun. Wab: I could definitely see Simon Pegg!

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
I wouldn't even know how to begin fantasy casting this - except to mention the few notable British actors who weren't involved in the main Harry Potter series.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
After seeing him in the Hobbit I think Martin Freeman would be perfect. He was very good as an adventurer and I see this being a similar role, although maybe a bit more serious.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
Perhaps we can just pilfer the cast of The World's End? Most of them weren't in any Harry Potter movies.

How old is Newt Scamander supposed to be?

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
What does Newt Scamander look like?
I think that all actors associated with the HP series should not be in the films. I would pick Richard Madden for the role.

Who do you think would be a good choice as director? Someone who's already worked on the Harry Potter series or someone new?

I'm all for Evanna reprising Luna Lovegood. It would be great to have the story begin with Luna marrying Rolf Scamander. Of course that would need to pull all her friends in and we'd get nearly the whole HP cast showing up. Oh well. It would be great if Newt helped DD and Fawkes get together - would love to see that! And learn more about phoenixes in general.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
I believe that there will not be any HP era actors in the new movie . The new movie is to start in New York so I don't think we will see any British actors at all.

Re: Newt Scamander Film Casting, Cast and Cameos
Newt is British. And anything can happen in a flashback.
