Colin Farrell is taking on a magical role!
The True Detective star is joining the cast of the Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Farrell will reportedly take on the part of Graves, a wizard who writer Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) encounters in New York.
