HOW IS SAMANTHA MORTON RELATED TO HARRY POTTER AND FANTASTIC BEASTS

In the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Morton played the role of Mary Lou, a narrow-minded No-Maj and the leader of a group known as the New Salem Philanthropic Society or the Second Salemers.

The group's goals included exposing and killing wizards and witches. However, she is the adoptive mother of Credence Barebone, who played the role of a secret Obscurial wizard and was "the cast's most mysterious character."

SAMANTHA MORTON WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER WEINSTEIN PUBLICLY

In 2003, Morton talked publicly about the fact that Harvey Weinstein had ordered Terry Gilliam not to cast her in "The Brothers Grimm." His actions made her feel that she was the first person to have answered him back publicly.

Even though speaking out cost Morton her career, she decided to keep quiet when the #MeToo movement started. The actress revealed that she kept quiet because she had cared about the subject before she could speak as it was very close to home.

On May 17, 2009, Morton released her directorial debut with "The Unloved." The film was produced for Channel 4 and was based on Morton's experiences as a child in a care home.
