![]() Thank goodness she was able to recover from this horrible accident. She was hit in the head by a piece of plaster that caused the injury. Morton suffered a stroke in 2008 that brought her “close to death.” She suffered damage to her vertebral artery and caused her to enter into therapy to received assistance in learning to walk again. She also thanked everyone and posted a photo of herself in the hospital. I’m so grateful for our NHS,to see the red zone first hand and the nurses and doctors being so kind and wonderful to us all was humbling. The cast also includes Dan Fogler as a No-Maj factory worker who encounters Newt and becomes aware of a whole new world of magic.Thankyou to all the A and E staff at the Conquest who helped me tonight. ![]() Supporting characters range from mind-reading witches to wide-eyed ‘No-Majs’Įntertainment Weekly reveals that Colin Farrell’s Graves is a powerful auror and aide to the US wizarding world’s president, so we’re guessing he’s leading the fight against the Salemers. Entertainment Weekly also reveals that Tina’s sister, Queenie, is a mind-reader. The Ministry of Magic employee is described as being more interested in his beastly collection than actual people, which should make his interactions with Katherine Waterston’s Porpentina a lot more interesting, especially as we know he eventually marries her. Photograph: Rex Shutterstock The magizoologist is keener on beasties than actual peopleĬolouring the plot will be Newt’s eccentric personality. Katherine Waterston will play Porpentina. Then (we’re guessing) Scamander spends the rest of the movie getting his beasties back, perhaps with some sort of magical proton pack equivalent. ![]() The plot of Fantastic Beasts – and here’s where Ghostbusters comes in – apparently spins off an incident that causes Scamander’s monsters to escape their leathery prison and gallop off into the night, where they can upset the Salemers and their supporters. Now it appears that reference might not have been entirely accidental, for we’re told that Newt’s old-fashioned briefcase is really a repository for storing various beasties in life-sized environments. Newt’s briefcase has Tardis-like qualitiesĮarlier this week, we caught our first glimpse of Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne as Scamander, showing off a look that might easily have been inspired by Doctor Who. Rowling loves to expose hypocrisy in bigots, so we’re guessing he’s secretly harbouring his own magical powers. Ezra Miller stars as her son, Credence, who’s described as “the cast’s most mysterious character”. The US is described as “wiz-phobic”: it never really moved on from the Salem witch trials.Ĭhief among the anti-magic brigade will be Samantha Morton’s Mary Lou, leader of a group known as the Second Salemers, who are out to “expose and destroy wizards and witches”. But America’s Muggles appear to be a far more threatening breed – and it suddenly makes sense that Rowling has handed them the new moniker “No-Maj”.Įntertainment Weekly reveals that America’s witches and wizards, far from manipulating helpless Muggles from behind the scenes, live in fear of persecution from their No-Maj counterparts. At best, they are patronised (by the more benevolent denizens of the wider wizard world) as moronic curiosities at worst, they are treated as impotent subhuman imbeciles (by the death eaters and their ilk). ![]() The Muggles of JK Rowling’s Britain are a bit of a joke.
