After keeping fans in the dark, Claudia Kim finally revealed the character she’ll be playing in the upcoming “Fantastic Beasts” sequel!
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” latest trailer involved a secret that the actress has been trying to keep.
Nagini, a major creature character in the original Harry Potter series, was revealed to be a Maledictus.
According to the author, JK Rowling, a Maledictus is a blood-related curse that transforms a human being into a beast.
They're different conditions. Maledictuses are always women, whereas werewolves can be either sex. The Maledictus carries a blood curse from birth, which is passed down from mother to daughter. https://t.co/wYfvPeQFRW
