Colin Farrell and Jude Law: The love story we could have gotten
Do you ever stop and think about how if Colin Farrell was actually Grindelwald he and Jude Law would have been in love with each other? Because I sure do.
Colin Farrell came into the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series as Percival Graves. We knew after that first movie that that was probably it for him in the Harry Potter world. And then they announced that Jude Law would play a young Albus Dumbledore and suddenly, that pain got worse.
Why? Because just think about how amazing it would have been if Farrell was Grindelwald and Jude Law was Dumbledore and they were in love? Sure, it is going to be fine in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Crimes of Grindelwald but thinking about what could have been hurts.
Maybe this is specific to my interests only but just the idea of Farrell and Law in a relationship on screen before me sounds brilliant. Granted, Dumbledore and Grindelwald aren’t like a normal couple but still, you get my point.
But alas, we will have to live with fanfictions and our dreams of what could have been. But hopefully Farrell isn’t completely done with the series. Yes, Grindelwald was using a polyjuice potion to make himself look like Graves but that means that Graves is alive somewhere yes?
So maybe he’ll come back to work with Newt and Tina and the rest of the crew. And then we’d at least get to see him and Jude Law in a scene together to make our hearts flutter.

So while it is now said and done, just think of the love story we could have had. Colin Farrell and Jude Law, being in love. Wizards in love, which makes it that much better.
