The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Ron Perlman (Hellboy) has joined the cast of Warner Bros. upcoming Harry Potter spin-off film, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, which has David Yates (Harry Potter 5-8) on board as director and marks the screenwriting debut of Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling. Details on the film's plot are still scarce, but THR adds that Perlman will portray a goblin. 

He joins a cast that features Eddie Redmayne (The Theory Of Everything) in the lead as magizoologist Newt Scamander and also features a talented ensemble that includes Colin Farrell (True Detective), Katherine Waterston (Steve Jobs), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Jon Voight (Mission: Impossible), and Samantha Morton (Minority Report), amongst others. Shooting is currently underway in England. 

What do you guys think of this latest casting? Sound off with your thoughts below!

J.K. Rowling has said that the film will start in New York, around 1920, seventy years before the Harry Potter series, and will feature Newton Scamander as a main character. It is unclear whether the rest of the film will be set in New York. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tells us that Scamander had been travelling the world in research of magical creatures since 1918, culminating with the publication of his masterpiece in 1927.

It's not like he has anything else better to do. Maybe now he has a chance to be part of a decent franchise.

He's gonna be playing a goblin? Hopefully they use makeup to do it, it's about time he gets to play a makeup heavy character that isn't totally shit.

Poor Levi!

Yeah, Ron Perlman will probably do a gritty reboot about the origins of the Cowardly Lion, before he ever gets to make Hellboy 3. That sucks.

I swear they left out all of Dumbledore's backstory for a reason. They gotta make that into a film, was some of the best parts of the last books.

Goblins in Harry Potter are all really short, is this going to be a motion capture role? Also, all of the Goblins introduced so far have had somewhat high pitched voices, while Perlman's is pretty deep. Why cast Ron Perlman as a goblin?

Come on, guys. It's not like he hasn't played a fantastic beast before.

Why can't they just get a little person as a goblin as usual?

@FrozenMarvelite

AHA!!!! Well done!!!! And, it appears that you have a fan in @RealistDeadPool!!

By the bye, Deadpool, I expect you to communicate in three distinctive head voices (with their own colored boxes) or all bets are off! What bets, you ask? I have no idea, it just sounded good.

I'm not really a big Harry Potter fan, it was a bit after my time, but the way this is shaping up is sounding really cool.
