I love that Jude Law is wearing a velvet suit, so appropriate for a young Dumbledore. The book describes Albus in the pensieve, August 1938, when he goes to Wool's Orphanage in London to see Tom Riddle Jr., as wearing a “flamboyantly cut suit of plum velvet”.

@@funkymonk5344 he's consider underrated amoung his co star such as RDJ, or johnny depp. Because director always misstreats him and being typecast him just because of his looks. He's a great actor, and I can see him as a perfect next bond, but because of his looks consider "too pretty" Director always put him on a romantic movies. Even he said sometimes he kinda "disapointed" By his face because all director wants and see is his "handsome face" Not his acting skills. Even i his comedy action movie (spy) they makes him looks like james bond, and all the dialouge is all about his face whenever he's on screen, and you can see how uncomfortable he is.

Numbestr three, Using the words 'intense', 'intimate', 'extraordinary', and 'explosive' to describe Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald?

DJD &c. “He wasn’t 45 in part 2 though; he was still Johnny Boy age my guy” Eh?? I’ve read this sentence over and over and _still_ can’t work out what it means. 😕 George Tarantino is absolutely correct - De Niro’s performance in _The Godfather Part II_ is entirely applicable and precedes Ewan McGregor or James McAvoy by a long shot.

[@icecreamalacarte]

@@clothilde1623 Your comment makes sense. I may have misinterpreted the original commenter's point because of his lack of context. I thought he was implying age is irrelevant to portraying a younger version of a character; I was stating that Deniro was young when he played a young Vito-he was age appropriate Johnny Boy refers to a character he played a year earlier in which he's, essentially, an uncontrollable youth. Point is, he was age appropriate for the role of Vito.

[@clothilde1623]

DJD &c. Ahhh I follow now, thanks for explaining and sorry if I was being slow! You had lost me! How old is Dumbledore supposed to be in the film? Given the time period of _Fantastic Beasts_ I definitely thought “Eh?” when I realised he’d be in it, but I ascribed his prolonged youth to magicky stuff. Cause even if Dumbledore was 20 then his age wouldn’t make sense in the Harry Potter films...Or would it? Sorry tbh I’m not even sure exactly when FB is set...I might be thinking it’s earlier than it was...
