Eddie Redmayne (AP) Los Angeles - Eddie Redmayne is relieved Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will be released soon - as he is "so bad at keeping secrets". The 34-year-old actor - who plays protagonist Newt Scamander in the hotly anticipated movie - is thrilled that the film gets it release date later this week as him and his co-stars aren't so good at keeping the closely guarded details to themselves. And Eddie - who has five-month-old daughter Iris with his wife Hannah Bagshawe - is hopeful that the fans will warm to the Fantastic Beasts franchise as much as they did to the Harry Potter series.
