Eddie Redmayne discussed his reaction when he learned of the surprise twist, and what he thinks the fans reaction has been so far to the surprise reveal.
"So jumping into spoilers, when did you find out that Dumbledore was going to get a brother?REDMAYNE: I mean, I found out when I read the script. I’ve been asked about this, but when I read it, it was genuinely jaw dropping for me. It was one of those scripts that you finished. You read in one, and then you started rereading all over again. The connections and the complexities, and just, it felt sort of, even more full each time you read it. I’m curious as to, I’ve only seen the film once, but I wonder how it plays when you see it again, and whether there are always new things that you can pull out from it.The ending of this movie absolutely changes the Harry Potter universe. How do you think fans are going to react?REDMAYNE: From the fans that I’ve met, also we went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios the other day, just after a load of fans had seen the film. The feeling seemed to be one of extraordinary excitement, because everyone has such faith in Jo to have the explanations. If that makes sense. And I suppose I put myself in that camp. From when I first met Jo, it became clear that you ask about any character at any point in their life, she can without even drawing breath, she will start telling you the intricacies and the details. So I feel like, obviously it’s her world, so she has a pretty thorough understanding."
The ending to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has divided the fandom a little bit. Everyone is now speculating over whether Credence can actually be a Dumbledore? A look at the Harry Potter timeline and information available on Pottermore raises questions over if it is possible.
Some fans are holding firm that Credence certainly cannot be a Dumbledore, but there are also plenty of theories to suggest that he could be as well. With another three Fantastic Beasts movies in the pipeline, and with J.K. Rowling proven to write intertwining plots that keep us guessing until the end, it hard to say where things will go so early on.
