The Secrets of Dumbledore
Book Preface
Diving back into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World with The Secrets of Dumbledore was both exciting creatively and challenging logistically, given that production began at the same time as the global pandemic, and we based ourselves for much of it working out of Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England. It was here that Stuart Craig and his exceptional art department team, thwarted by various travel restrictions because of COVID-19, created magical versions of Berlin, Bhutan, and China across the back lot. We also rebuilt some of the most memorable sets from earlier Wizarding World stories and films, including the Hog’s Head, the Room of Requirement, and Hogwarts itself.
Jo and Steve’s screenplay moves deftly between the old and new while balancing a timely political story with both charm and emotion. At the heart of the tale, one of Jo’s most enduring and endearing characters, Albus Dumbledore, deals with present dangers and past regrets, while Newt Scamander leads a mission to prevent Grindelwald’s rise to power.
Over many months, as the world fell into a strange hibernation, we worked to translate Jo and Steve’s words to the screen.
In The Secrets of Dumbledore, dangerous times may favor dangerous men, but the tenacity and the pluck of Dumbledore, Newt, and the gang they assemble to take on the most lethal wizard in over a century holds out the promise that in the end, light and love may yet prevail, however challenging the odds.
