I used to go to this shop, Davenports, by Charing Cross in London, which sells kits to professional magicians, and I was completely intoxicated. “I was definitely an aspirational wizard. Redmayne’s other dream was to be a magician. Still,” he says, from the vantage point of now leading a whole new Rowling franchise (four more Scamander films are planned), “it’s all worked out for the best, hasn’t it?”
He auditioned for the part of Tom Riddle, a troubled young wizard, “but didn’t even meet the casting director.” With his auburn hair, however, he was convinced there might be a role for him in the redheaded Weasley family, “but the call never came. The 34-year-old Oscar winner had two dreams when he was younger. Real animate creatures!” says Redmayne, laughing. “It’s amazing seeing the models as the beasts. So while the film is filled with fantastic beasts added by CGI, from the Niffler to the Bowtruckle to the Mooncalf, for the purposes of the shoot they are represented by models in extravagantly over-the-top couture. The model, staying firmly in character, does not reply.
“Not many people have a job where they have to stand in a Christmas tree made of roses,” she muses. Sudol, meanwhile, is staring at the model next to Redmayne, who is wearing a gorgeous if entirely circular Comme des Garçons flower-print dress. He is watching the proceedings with the kind of bemusement you’d expect from a Muggle. “Yeah, Dennis Hopper,” wisecracks Fogler.
