JK Rowling gives a sneak peek at Jessica Williams' character in 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'

JK Rowling has revealed that actor Jessica Williams will play professor Eulalie "Lally" Hicks in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel.

Professor Hicks teaches at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, America's equivalent of Hogwarts.

Rowling tweeted that the next Fantastic Beasts film, The Crimes of Grindelwald, will only feature a "hint" of Lally, and that her true glory will be revealed in the third film.

In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, dark wizard Grindelwald has escaped the custody of MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. It will come down to Dumbledore and Scamander to stop him in his tracks.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released November 16.
