Sharjah24 – Reuters: At the film's premiere in London on Tuesday (March 29) night, Redmayne posed for photos and signed autographs, delighting fans of the "Harry Potter" spin-off, which is set some 60 years before J.K. Rowling's books but features younger versions of some of the same key characters, like Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"It always feels incredibly surreal but particularly euphoric this time because the making of this movie during COVID, it was incredibly stressful and hugely enjoyable," Redmayne said on the red carpet.

"But there were moments when I wasn't even sure it would make it out into the world and so I'm thrilled that it has. It's filled with the whimsy and the magic that I loved in the Potter films."

Redmayne was at the premiere alongside co-stars Jude Law, Mads Mikkelsen, Katherine Waterstone, Dan Fogler, and Alison Sudol, who reprise their roles from previous "Fantastic Beasts" films, as well as Rowling, the writer and producer of the movie.
