Hes going to become a much more prominent part of the stories going forward, director David Yates added.
Any more than that, I really couldnt say.
Dumbledore plays a role, too.

BecauseFantastic Beaststakes place in 1926, we shouldnt expect to see too many familiar faces pop up.
(Sadly, Harry, Ron, and Hermione werent born yet.)
But Yates revealed that you will hear a little bit about a certain wizard with half moon spectacles.
We do mention Dumbledore in this movie, Yates said.
He features a little bit in a wonderful scene between Colin [Farrell] and Eddie [Redmayne].
Jon Voight plays a No-Maj newspaper magnate.
I have a small character in the piece, Voight said.
But I identify with the character in some ways.
Hes a father; hes a devoted father in some ways.
Hes a strong fellow, very stern.
Dan Fogler has a familial connection to his character.
And Fogler added that he and Jacob have more in common than just their non-magical tendencies.
Foglers Pumpernickel, man!
So its so surreal.
I feel like Im in a dream.
The entire cast geeked out whenever Rowling stopped by.
One of the best moments for us on set was when Jo would come to set, Redmayne said.
Jo would come up to us and say, Im working on the new script.
Im not allowed to tell you anything,but…
I get excited, Rowling added.
I tell actors things.
Newts adventures are far from over.
Its somewhere else entirely.
Fantastic Beastshits theaters on Nov. 18.
