As he led the star-studded arrivals for the London premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore in London’s Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday, Eddie Redmayne looked every inch the suave movie hero.

The actor, who appears with Jude Law and Mads Mikkelson in the Harry Potter spin-off series as the heroic wizard Newt Scamander, struck a handsome figure on the red carpet.

Also in attendance was JK Rowling, who penned the iconic book series which sparked the Fantastic Beasts spin-off series, and she cut a glamorous figure in a form-fitting navy blue gown.

The dress boasted a sparkling silver diamante neckline and a dramatic thigh-high split, and flowed into a matching cape, with JK among the first stars to arrive for the red carpet.

Eddie opted for a sharp black suit with a slightly longer jacket, teamed with a crisp white shirt and an enlarged white flower pinned on his lapel.

The star was accompanied by his wife Hannah Bagshawe for the red carpet, with the brunette opting for a dramatic pale blue dress with a layered skirt, teamed with chunky black lace-up boots.

Meanwhile Jude opted for a more casual ensemble, opted for a pale pink suit jacket and grey trousers, teamed with a camel scarf and a white t-shirt.

Mikkelsen recently took over the role of Grindelwald from Johnny Depp, who left the Harry Potter prequel series after losing a High Court battle against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

On the red carpet, he told MarkMeets.com: “It started out with me asking my kids if I should say yes and that was no option – so that’s why it started.

“It’s in the story obviously. I jump into it in the middle of the process. And I had a long conversation with David (Yates, director) and with Jude because those two characters are linked, intertwined.

“So whatever he had in the mind was also where my character was going.”

Law hailed the competitive nature of his co-star Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander.

He said: “Working in ensembles is one of the highlights of being an actor and working with an ensemble that you have already worked with, so you have a shorthand, you have a knowledge of each other both on and off camera, is just honestly one of the highlights of this job.

“We all have wonderful parts to play and we all have our own characters who we can mine. And on top of that we are in this extraordinary world. It is a lot of fun but we take it very seriously.

“We are also quite competitive. Led by Eddie who is always, ‘How can we do this better? What can we do again? Better!’

“There is a real sense of respect for the material and the world and the wizarding world community.”

Redmayne spoke of his excitement at the film finally being released.

He said: “This one has been a long time coming. We made this film in the height of lockdown.

“We were one of the first films to be filming and it was made in such secrecy, as in the title, but I am thrilled now some of those secrets are finally going to be revealed.”
