Harry Potter fans are anxiously awaiting the next movie in the franchise, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. It's the second installment in the hit prequel series following the adventures of eccentric Magizoologist Newt Scamander. After the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald escapes the custody of MACUSA, a young Albus Dumbledore tries to thwart his plans, and enlists his former student, Newt, for help.
The new franchise promises to blow our minds, by showing us incredible new beasts, introducing us to brand new worlds, and stirring up strange feelings in our loins because now Albus Dumbledore is a total hottie. That's right, Albus Dumbledore. That old dude, with the glasses, and the long white beard, who...talked....so....slowly? In the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore's over 100, but in the Fantastic Beasts series, he's in his 40's.
The Crimes of Grindelwald is still a year away, but a new promtional photo shows off the cast, and it's breaking the Internet.
We've got our first glimpse of Jude Law as young Albus Dumbledore, rocking a short brown beard and long gray
corduroy coat. To quote Kingsley Shacklebolt, "You may not like him...but you can't deny:
Dumbledore's got style!"

On Twitter, the Potterheads were freaking out. Now everybody wants to join Dumbledore's Army. Who wouldn't want a piece of that Elder Wand? Anybody got any Amortentia? Just asking...for science. Accio Dumbledore's tongue! I want to be sorted...into Dumbledore's house. Tell Albus I'm like Luna - I can love good. And so forth:

"FREAKING DUMBLEDORE AND HIS BLUE CORDUROY COAT I AM LIVING"
We already know reading Harry Potter
. Now we know that watching the Harry Potter movies teaches you about aging: Everybody old was once young and hot. And everybody young and hot will
. And you can't stop the passage of time - all the Time Turners have been destroyed.
What surprises
in the Fantastic Beasts series? Will we see a hot Bathilda Bagshot, played by Olivia Wilde? Will we see a hot Nearly Headless Nick, played by Zac Efron? Will see a hot Professor McGonagall, played by
? I don't know, but I hope we get an explanation for why Gellert Grindelwald doesn't stick to looking like Colin Farrell instead of
.
