This week's Fierce Face is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's leading man, Eddie Redmayne, for the November 13, 2016 issue of Entertainment Weekly.


The Aparecium charm has been getting a lot of uses this week! The mysterious secrets of the upcoming Warner Bros. film based on J. K. Rowling's screenplay are slowly being revealed. On Tuesday, the title logo for Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was revealed. Just one day later, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, we get our first look at the multi-talented Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander. Redmayne, who won the Best Actor Oscar earlier this year for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, told EW of the "extraordinary" experience "...it felt truly exciting. I hope it's going to be quite a ride."

Redmayne's cover shows the actor dressed very handsomely in a suit, bright blue wool coat, a bow tie, a briefcase and, of course, the wizard's most useful accessory a wand. Redmayne has a very determined look in his eye as he stands in what I speculate is the Magical Congress of the United States, the U.S. equivalent of the Ministry of Magic.
