Because he could probably use a different kind of cheering up, Colin Farrell has signed on to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Farrell will play Graves, a wizard who meets magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) in New York as Newt is, presumably, tracking the titular beasts through Central Park and/or Williamsburg. Another possible introduction for the two characters could be over a lost dog, even if a canine is a less magical animal than say, a hippogriff.
