Ezra Miller's 7 Best And 7 Worst Career Moments
By Robert King
When it came time to cast the character of Credence Barebone in the "Harry Potter" spin-off movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Ezra Miller was chosen. The actor appeared alongside Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, and Johnny Depp in the films.
The story sees Newt Scamander (Redmayne) and his allies, including Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law), as they attempt to put a stop to the machinations of Gellert Grindelwald (played alternately by Farrell, Depp, and Mads Mikkelsen), who is seeking to put in place a New Wizarding Order. Miller's Barebone is an Obscurial, later revealed to be a Dumbledore in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald." The character plays an important role in the story, with Grindelwald attempting to use Barebone as a weapon in his war.
According to Miller, who spoke to Pottermore in 2016 after being cast, the part was one that they fought hard to get. The actor had to appeal to Warner Bros. to allow them to be part of the DCEU and "Fantastic Beasts" as the schedules of both franchises would likely clash. However, according to Miller, the studio showed faith in them and made scheduling changes so that they were able to appear.
