THE NIFFLER WAS THE BREAKOUT
STAR OF THE FIRST MOVIE.
WE HAD TO START EMPLOYING HIS
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN. >> THE EGO GOT PRETTY BIG.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> THE SECOND FILM, INTO THE
FIRST, WE MEET GRINDELWALD.
WE DON’T KNOW HIM WELL.
BUT GRINDELWALD BECOMES A BIG
PART OF THE SECOND FILM.
AND THERE’S NEWT.
HOW DO THE TWO INTERACT?
WHAT’S THE RELATIONSHIP?
>> WELL, BASICALLY, AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE FILM, NOT TO
GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY, GRINDELWALD
ESCAPES CAPTIVITY.
ESCAPES CAPTIVITY. AND DUMBLEDORE CAN’T FIGHT
AGAINST HIM.
AGAINST HIM. AND HE SENDS HIS STUDENT, NEWT,
TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK FOR HIM.
THAT’S WHERE WE’RE HEADING.
>> THIS MOVIE, THERE’S A COUPLE
SCENES, I WOULD IMAGINE, YOU HAD
TO GET SPECIAL TRAINING FOR.
THERE’S AN UNDERWATER DIVING
SCENE.
SCENE. >> YEAH, THERE IS.
ARE YOU AN ADVANCED UNDERWATER
DIVER?
DIVER? >> I HAD NEVER DIVED BEFORE.
THE AMAZING THING ABOUT THESE
FILMS IS YOU GET THE BEST
EXPERTS IN THE WORLD.
I WAS SENT WITH A FREE DIVER TO
LEARN HOW TO TAKE -- HOLD MY
BREATH FOR HOURS AND PREP FOR
THE FILM.
THE FILM. THOSE ARE THE RANDOM EXTRA
SKILLS YOU GET TO LEARN BEING AN
ACTOR ON THESE.

DO YOU KNOW IF YOU SURVIVE UNTIL
THE FIFTH?
THE FIFTH? >> I KNOW I SURVIVE BECAUSE
SHE’S WRITTEN NEWT AND TINA END

LOVELY PART OF BRITAIN.
WE NEVER KNOW WHAT IS COMING.
WE FOUND THAT SOME OF THE NEXT
FILM WOULD BE SET IN RIO.
AND WE FOUND OUT WHEN THE REST
OF THE WORLD FOUND OUT.
KEEPS US ON OUR TOES.
>> WHEN SHE POPS BY THE SET,
WHAT’S THAT LIKE?
>> IT’S AMAZING.
WE ALL TURN INTO SCHOOLCHILDREN.
AND OCCASIONALLY, SHE’LL COME
AND SHE’LL LEAN INTO YOUR EAR
AND GIVE A SNIPPET OF WHERE THE
CHARACTER MAY BE GOING.
AND YOU SEE IT HAPPENING WITH
OTHER ACTORS AND WE’LL GO, WHAT
DID YOU LEARN?
AND WE PIECE TOGETHER WHAT THE
PLOT IS GOING TO BE.
>> YOU MENTIONED SCHOOLCHILDREN.
YOU AND SOME OF YOUR CAST MATES,
YOU SPENT SOME TIME IN ALABAMA,
WITH SCHOOLCHILDREN.
WITH SCHOOLCHILDREN. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT’S MEANT SO
MUCH TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE
WORLD FOR SO LONG NOW.
WHY DID YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO
GET DOWN TO ALABAMA?
AND WHAT DID YOU DO THERE?
>> WE WENT TO AN AMAZING SCHOOL,
WHERE A LOT OF THE STUDENTS COME
FROM LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.
BUT THE TEACHERS THERE, THREE OF
THE TEACHERS, INSPIRED --
>> IS THAT YOU?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. THEY WERE INSPIRED BY HOW MUCH
THE KIDS LOVED THE BOOKS.
THEY DESIGNED A LOT OF THE
SCHOOL TO LOOK LIKE HOGWARTS.
WE WENT THERE AND PLAYED A LOT
OF QUIDDITCH, ESSENTIALLY.
>> HAVE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND TAKE IT
ALL IN, NOW THAT YOU ARE AN INTD
INTEGRAL PART OF ALL THIS.
>> WHERE WE MAKE THE FILMS IN
BRITAIN IS NEXT TO THE POTTER
WORLD.
WORLD. IT’S SO SHROUD OF SECRECY, THEY
DON’T ALLOW YOU TO PRINT OUT
SCRIPPS.
SCRIPPS. IF YOU PULL IT UP, IT DISAPPEARS
IF YOU HAVE IT OPEN TOO LONG.
IF YOU GO OUT AND SEE PEOPLE
DRESSED AS NEWT AND GRINDELWALD,
YOU GET A SNIFF OF HOW
PASSIONATE THE FANS ARE.
AND IT’S AMAZING.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE A NEW 8-MONTH-OLD, I
UNDERSTAND.
UNDERSTAND. >> I DO.

BIG SISTER?
BIG SISTER? >> SHE’S DOING WELL.
AND SHE MAKES HIM LAUGH UNLIKE
ANYONE ELSE.
ANYONE ELSE. SHE WAS A TODDLER AT THE TIME I
WAS MAKING THIS FILM.
FOR THE BABY NIFFLERS, I HAD
GOOD INSPIRATION HERE.
FIRST FILM THERE’S A BABY.
SECOND FILM, THERE’S A BABY.
I ASSUME YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN
THE THIRD FILM.
ARE YOUWE GOING TO EXPECT A THIR

CHILD? >> FIVE WOULD BE A BIT MUCH FOR
THE REDMAYNE FAMILY.
>> IF YOU HAD A POWER, WHAT
WOULD IT BE?
>> I’VE BEEN ASKED THIS ON THE
PRESS TOUR.
PRESS TOUR. JUST SLEEP.
JUST SLEEP. THE EXTRA TWO HOURS THAT PUSH
LUKE THROUGH THE NIGHT WOULD BE
