• In discussing the Pentagram Office meeting scene in the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, actor Colin Farrell - who portrayed Percival Graves - praised costume designer Colleen Atwood's attention to detail: "There must have been two hundred actors and extras all in the different costumes. Wizards from Hungary, from Mongolia, from Russia, from Thailand, from Ireland, and from Pakistan. It was amazing. They all had culturally relevant garb but with a little wizarding flourish."^[1]
