Claudia Kim is playing Nagini in 'Fantastic Beasts'

Yes, the giant snake.



Whaaaaaaaat. The secret is out. South Korean actress Claudia Kim will play Nagini -- yes, the giant snake from Harry Potter -- in the upcoming movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

In this video featuring the cast of the latest Wizarding World Adventure, Kim reveals that she will be playing Nagini, a circus performer with the unique ability to transform in a snake -- the killer serpent who, as Harry Potter fans know, eventually becomes Voldemort's trusty sidekick and Horcrux.

Up to now, Warner Bros. has been pretty tight-lipped about who Kim would be playing in the movie. It's evident in the clip that she's been sitting on the secret for a while, and it's been stressing her out. Given the thumbs up to reveal her character's name, she lets the, um, snake out of the bag.

"This is a very emotional moment for me. I'm Nagini."

Man Accused Of Throwing 13-Foot-Long Python At Sushi Bar Customers In Studio City

On Sunday night, 46-year-old Hiroshi Motohashi had dinner at Iroha Sushi of Tokyo in Studio City. After paying for his $200 meal, he pulled out a small snake -- an actual live reptile -- and showed it off to customers sitting down for dinner. The customers did not respond positively.

Restaurant managers confronted Motohashi and asked him to leave, presumably informing him that snakes are not allowed at Iroha. Motohashi got mad and left, but returned a few minutes later with a 13-foot-long python.

"[Expletive] you guys," Motohashi reportedly said. Then he threw the snake on the floor of the restaurant.
