10 Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts alum projects at Toronto International Film Festival
By Callum Gunn
TIFF is just around the corner, and this is going to be a film festival to pay attention to. There will be 10 Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast alum projects.
You may not usually pay attention to the Toronto International Film Festival. Why would you when Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts won’t be there. However, TIFF 2019 is the year you want to pay attention with a number of projects from the Wizarding World alums (and current stars).
One thing we will point out is that the actors won’t necessarily attend TIFF. This is going to depend on whether their roles are big enough or if they’re invited to the festival. It will also depend on their projects. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t want to pay attention to the movies.
TIFF 2019 runs from Sept. 5 to 15, and there are 10 confirmed Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts alum projects. Here’s your list in order of promotion dates.
Sept. 6 to 8
Bill Nighy will star in the movie Hope Gap, which will be promoted at the festival on Sept. 6 and 7.
