Like the magic tricks, The Wonders: Dumbledore’s Secrets recently appeared on the screens. This is a director David Yatesin the third full-length film that ranks as an author JK Rowlingin to the popular wizarding world.
Iltalehti followed the film’s international press conference.
– We wanted this movie to be emotional, but also entertaining. We aim to bring the same elements to this film that are in the Harry Potter movies: fun, humor, and humanity, director David Yates said at the event.
The film series got into a pretty headwind when the actor Johnny Depp was fired from the role of Gellert Grindewald a few years ago. The background was Depp’s legal battle with his ex-wife. Both accused each other of violent behavior.
Depp had to step aside and was replaced by a Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. Many may remember him for his role in James Bond Casino Royale.
Jumping into a new production team in the middle of a movie series was no easy place.
– Production is like the family you hope to adopt you. They are all really awesome. David is great, he has been doing this job for so long that he makes everyone feel at home, Mikkelsen praised his colleagues.

The Grindewald, played by Mikkelsen, is a complex figure with a strong connection to Dumbledore, according to the actor.
– First we had to understand what Grindewald’s goal is (in his life). Why is he trying to make the world a better place by his own means? Mikelsen analyzes his character.

In the midst of scandals
One of the stars of the film shone in his absence at a press conference. Actor Ezra Miller, 29, was arrested in Hawaii shortly before the occasion for misconduct. The American actress had disturbed people singing at the karaoke bar.
Among other things, Miller had picked up a microphone from a woman in a shift. After that, he had barked at a man who had been playing darts.
Hollywood stars had been pointed out for their misbehavior, but to no avail. Police arrested Miller, who was later released after paying $ 500 in bail.

However, events do not end there. An unnamed couple has demanded a restraining order for the actress. According to the couple, Miller would have broken into the couple’s bedroom, stolen property from them, among other things, and threatened them, among other things.
This is not the first time the actor has made the headlines for his flirtation. A couple of years ago, a video that was filmed in Iceland spread on social media. Miller grabs a female fan from the throat and knocks it down.
It is not yet known whether the man will be seen in future sequels to the film.
