Oh, Ezra Miller - you've had a busy year. The young actor nabbed two major franchises this year thanks to Fantastic Beasts and The Flash. This weekend, Miller will debut his Harry Potter character when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits theaters. Miller was excited to join the series, but don't worry; He's not, like, a huge fan of Harry Potter.

Nope, not at all. No way. Not obsessed in anyway, shape, or form. Well, kind of.

In a recent interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz, Miller stressed he wasn't one of 'those' fans who lived Harry Potter. However, he quickly shows Horowitz how big of a lie that is. The actor gave an impassioned speech about his knowledge of the franchise.

Poor Horowitz, he wasn't prepared for the onslaught. He shouldn't have even mentioned Lord Voldemort's name; The reference got the host a glass of water to the face.

This isn't the first video Miller has starred in which shows his Harry Potter prowess. The actor appeared in a promo earlier this month that detailed the magical history of Fantastic Beasts. He even teased Gellert Grindelwald's upcoming inclusion in the franchise with some not-so-subtle hints about the dark wizard.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter blockbusters. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
