Fantastic Beasts

I need to say something and I need you not to laugh.  I really want to do "Fantastic Beasts".  Like really, really want to.  I am a huge J.K. Rowling fan; especially of anything having to do with the wizarding world.  It seems like the ideal project for me.  I am a complete unknown in the acting world and feel that as such I can become a character better than Collin Firth or Maggie Smith at this point in my career.  Not to say that I am a better actor than them; far from it.  I am merely pointing out that they will always be known by a good chunk of the world as the actor playing the character, not as the character.  This is the unavoidable trap that every actor falls into eventually; that they will be known as themselves by someone.  Anyway, I also think the timeframe is on my side.  It would most likely be auditioning mid 2014 at the earliest seeing as how there is no deadline for the script and assuming characters have gotten as far as "Newt Scamander".  Now, as this is WB, they will probably already be aiming for some big Hollywood star for Newt.  However, this is still being held together by Rowling, and she might want to see someone other than the disastrous teen twilight gang trying not to ruin her movie.  I think she will push for auditions as much as she can so as to keep her story fresh.  I don't know, though.  I just want to audition.
