“Fantastic Beasts” is based on the Hogwarts textbook of the same name. Set in New York about seven decades before the “Harry Potter” story, the book follows the adventures of its author, Newt Scamander, a “magiczoologist”, or a person who studies magical creatures.

Farrell will play Graves, a wizard that Newt meets in New York.

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” opens on November 18, 2016.
