Irish actress Elizabeth Moynihan is rumoured to be the latest cast in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and according to IMDb, her character is called 'Executioner #1'. A photo of Moynihan can be seen here.

No idea yet why the film's plot would require an executioner, unless it's one similar to Walden Macnair, the Death Eater who almost killed Buckbeak the Hippogriff in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.



Moynihan has been featured in the film Veronica Guerin, and British and Irish television programmes such as Vikings, Trivia and The Clinic.

This casting has not been confirmed yet by Moynihan, her representatives (whom SnitchSeeker has already contacted to get more information), or Warner Bros.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, and starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston and many more, hits theaters in November 2016.
