Except this time her prince is a bit different, as he’s transformed from Brenton Thwaites to Harris Dickinson.

The Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series introduced plenty of wizards and witches no one would want to mess with. Even the most unassuming characters were usually hiding magical power far beyond expectations. While most Hogwarts professors, Order of the Phoenix members, and Death Eaters were skilled wizards, not all could meet the nearly insurmountable challenge of taking on Lord Voldemort. The great wizarding wars provided ample opportunity to observe these characters in action....

But he wasn’t perfect. He made many mistakes and had some less than admirable personality traits that taught readers and viewers as many lessons as even more admirable characters did....

Fans would love to see a Harry Potter And The Cursed Child movie come together, but will a big screen version of Harry’s “final” adventure ever happen?
