London, Nov 1 (PTI) Actor Eddie Redmayne says his grandmother always had the feeling that he would one day play a wizard.
The 34-year-old actor, who portrays magizoologist Newt Scamander in upcoming "Harry Potter" spin-off "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," said he adored magic when he was young, reported Female First.
"There was this amazing shop called Davenports--the kind of shop where real magicians buy their tricks, the sort of place where you could buy the equipment to saw someone in half. It had a very 'Potter' vibe, actually--it was in this slightly grotty subway beneath Charing Cross station in London.
"When I got cast in this film, my grandma was like, 'I always knew you could play a wizard.' She was thrilled," Redmayne said.
