Law feels the experience of stepping into the classroom as Dumbledore was an experience beyond acting.

He says: “The children in those scenes were so excited to be there, and I shared their excitement. My parents are both teachers, so I really enjoyed being a teacher for the day. Like everyone else, I’ve seen those classes in that schoolroom onscreen, so suddenly to be in that position was extraordinary. Sometimes acting is slightly out of body — you’re there in the moment, but later, when you look back on it, you realise how special it was.”

The Crimes of Grindelwald promises to be a beautifully enchanting experience for every audience member’s inner kid being the predecessor to the Harry Potter series. The film, based on J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world which was set 70 years before the HP books, explores the adventure of “magizoologist” Newt Scamander.

The film is written by J.K. Rowling and directed by David Yates. The film releases in India on November 16 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu by Warner Bros. Pictures India.
