New post: "Eddie Redmayne to reprise Fantastic Beasts role in new scenes for Universal experience tying Beasts to Harry Potter films".
EW has confirmed Redmayne filmed new scenes as Newt Scamander, while Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint also appeared in Universal Epic Universe’s preview.
Have you ever dreamed of traveling the Floo Network like your favorite Harry Potter stars? What about taming a fantastic beast (or several) with the flick of a wand in Paris? Universal Orlando's upcoming theme park, Universal Epic Universe, is set to cast a spell that will turn that fantasy into a reality when its new Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic land opens in 2025.
Entertainment Weekly has confirmed through a source that franchise star Eddie Redmayne will reprise his Fantastic Beasts role as Newt Scamander in the new land, with his new, already-filmed scenes set to appear throughout. Ministry of Magic is touted as the most elaborate of the planned park's five new themed areas, fusing timelines from the eight main Harry Potter films with the three Fantastic Beasts movies. The narratives will converge on a massive plot of land spanning 1920s Paris and 1990s London as guests travel to and from both destinations using the Métro Floo transportation network to dart back and forth.
Partially set within the British Ministry of Magic, the land's marquee attraction will be Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, which will take travelers on a first-of-its-kind adventure using new omnidirectional technology that allows ride vehicles to travel through sprawling environments in vessels that move up, down, forward, backward, and sideways along one of the company's "most impressive attractions to date," according to a press release.
The ride's story puts guests on a journey from Paris to the British Ministry of Magic for the trial of Dolores Umbridge (played by Imelda Staunton in the films). Visitors enter through the organization's grand atrium (as seen in the Harry Potter movies) ahead of the trial until things go wrong when Umbridge attempts to escape. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), and a house elf named Higgledy eventually accompany riders along the pursuit of Umbridge. (EW has reached out to representatives for Radcliffe, Watson, Grint, and Redmayne for comment on their potential return.)
Outside of the main ride, the Ministry of Magic section will feature a live show, Le Cirque Arcanus, billed as a full-scale theater experience with live performers and aerialists, puppetry, special effects, and fantastic beats appearing throughout the production, which follows Ringmaster Skender after he steals Newt Scamander's suitcase.
Consistent with Universal's other Harry Potter-themed parklands, the Ministry of Magic section includes merchandise locations that sell wands and other franchise materials, namely the focal wand location Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique. Here, attendees can purchase wands and then use them to interact with fantastic beasts sprinkled throughout the Parisian locale.
Harry Potter characters are also set to roam the land, including exchange students from Hogwarts and Ilvermorny schools, an Auror from the Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France, and even talking portraits.
Dining locations include Café L'Air De La Sirène, Le Gobelet Noir, Bar Moonshine, and a Bièraubeeurre Cart (translation: this is where you can get Butterbeer) — all joined by other smaller shops like Les Galeries Mirifiques, a sweets shop cleverly named K. Rammelle, and Tour En Floo, a gift store inspired by the magic of the Floo Network.

Eddie Redmayne to reprise 'Harry Potter' role in new scenes at Universal Epic Universe, where the Ministry of Magic land fuses 'Harry Potter
well…. i think that’s it. 😕 yates says it’s on “pause” but i dont have much hope of its revival tbh… they seem to hint or imply it won’t get picked up anytime soon and if time keeps passing, the actors might not wanna get back to it. who knows at this point…
thank you all for sticking by and sharing your love for newtina with me. i won’t get rid of this account i may post once in a while and will happily share anything you wish i shared onto the page. submissions will remain open for this reason. thank you all and my heart hurts with all of you..
"Fantastic Beasts" was supposed to run for five movies, but that might no longer happen.
I guess we have to let Newtina go now. I hate that so much. I hope beyond hope that Eddie and Katherine can do a movie together again one day. Their chemistry is amazing.
:( i normally dont like to let my hopes go but… im not sure of anything anymore. this couple will always hold a very special place in my heart and i would welcome them back with open arms should they do a 4th film to close it off but… yes i do hope they get to work together someday once again. their on screen chemistry is everything.
IF they really don’t continue the FB series, i’ll be vastly disappointed. we know newtina is canonically endgame, but we want to SEE it unfold with our very eyes. again, this isn’t confirmed but there’s been some whispers that there’s no work being done in terms of the wizarding world meaning they’re not even working on FB… it just had me thinking that the third installment didn’t do justice to our ship nor our beloved characters.
There are two main reasons that made me love the scene from The Secrets of Dumbledore. The one is the obvious parallel with Newt and Tina, and I’m pretty sure that in this moment Newt is reminded of her. The second is that being in the Wand Permit Office is a demotion compared to being an auror, so Newt is absolutely delighted knowing that Lally basically demoted his brother.
