Jude Law is back for another round as Albus Dumbledore, the mightiest of wizards, in Friday’s “The Secrets of Dumbledore,” the newest chapter in the “Fantastic Beasts” series spun from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter universe.
In the eight Potter films, Dumbledore — initially portrayed by Richard Harris in the first two films and after his death by Michael Gambon — is headmaster of Hogwarts, the wizarding school, and the prime antagonist of the evil Voldemort.
But “Fantastic Beasts” is a prequel, so Law’s Dumbledore isn’t exactly what has been previously seen, he said during a virtual press conference.
