Jessica Williams reveals her backstory for Eulalie Hicks and how she met Dumbledore. SecretsOfDumbledore
Jessica Williams is a true force as Eulalie Hicks in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Her character was first introduced in film two, The Crimes of Grindelwald, but only via the briefest of cameos. In The Secrets of Dumbledore, however, she is an essential member of Albus Dumbledore’s team and commands the screen in every single scene she’s in.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY One of Lally’s most striking qualities in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is that the moment she appears on screen, she’s absolutely oozing with an invigorating tenacity. That quality carries through the rest of the film, making Lally a character who’s especially easy to root for and believe in.
“I think Eulalie was born in Harlem to a non-magical family, a No-Maj. And later, as a young girl, she discovers that things would start to fly off the walls in the apartment that they were living in. She was really close with her grandmother and her grandmother told her that back in the day, there were signs that her great, great, great ancestors could practice magic. And so Lally, of course, gets accepted into Ilvermorny and she’s quite bookish.
