During the AMA, one of Eddie's fans asked him which character he would like to see featured in the next Fantastic Beast film. The second film in the franchise already featured prominent Harry Potter characters such as Dumbledore and McGonagall. The third film in the spinoff series is likely to introduce even more characters from the original franchise. Eddie had only one choice when it came to the next character he wanted to see in Fantastic Beasts. He replied to the question by saying that his choice was Hagrid and that it would always be Hagrid.
Hagrid was one of the main supporting characters in the original Harry Potter series. He was a half-giant and was the groundskeeper for the School of Hogwarts. He was also a good friend and close confidant of the main trio of Harry, Ron and Hermoine. The veteran actor Robbie Coltrane played the role of Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series.
Recently, Warner Brothers Co. announced that they will begin the production for Fantastic Beasts 3 in March of 2020 and that the film will be released sometime in 2021. The previous two films in the franchise were based in the city of New Your and Paris. Reports have revealed that the third film will now be based in the Brazilian city of Rio De Janeiro.
