            Here’s something that came out of nowhere. According to The Playlist, Johnny Depp has signed on to appear in the sequel to the upcoming Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

            With J.K. Rowling announcing recently that the Fantastic Beasts series will become a five-film franchise, it makes sense to bring on another huge star to appear in the upcoming films. He’s also set to have a cameo in the first movie that will be released on November 18^th. Though there is no news on what role he’ll have, the speculation online has Depp as young Dumbledore.

            We’ll have to wait to find out for sure but who’s excited to see Depp in the Wizarding World? Do you think he’s the right fit? Comment below and let us know!
