Jude Law wasn't nervous while playing Dumbledore

Los Angeles; Actor Jude Law says he was not nervous to essay the role of Albus Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. In an interview to IMDb, the actor, who essays young Dumbledore in the film, said he enjoyed being part of the movie, read a statement.

"I wasn't even thinking about the pressure! I was thrilled and excited because while my children were growing up I read them Harry Potter books and went with them to see the films," Law said. "I am a huge fan of the Potter series, and to suddenly be in it was wonderful. Once you get in the character, there were so many references and David told me we are not trying to recreate the 110 old Dumbledore, so we looked together at the character and I felt so free," he added.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second in the planned five movies spin-off franchise from the Harry Potter films. The first part Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came out in 2016. With the franchise, J.K Rowling went back in time to introduce a thriving world of magic, magical creatures and wizards in New York. It brought forward new characters like Tina, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), Queenie (Alison Sudol) and Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler).
