Katherine Waterston Set For ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Opposite Eddie Redmayne
Katherine Waterston is joining the world of wizardry. She will star opposite Eddie Redmayne (which Warner Bros confirmed in making the announcement this morning) in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the Harry Potter spinoff trilogy from J.K. Rowling. Waterston, one of the ensemble cast members of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Spirit Award-winning film Inherent Vice, will play the role of a witch named Tina (short for Porpentina) who works her magic in the U.S. She meets magizoologist Newt Scamander (played by Oscar winner Redmayne) when he stops in New York City on his travels to find and document magical creatures.
