A LOWDOWN ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD. PHOTOGRAPH: KEVORK DJANSEZIAN/REUTERS Oscar-winning actor EDDIE REDMAYNE is in negotiations to play the lead in _Fantastic Beasts And Where To


Find Them_, the upcoming prequel to superhit fantasy series _Harry Potter_. Redmayne, 33, will play Newt Scamander, who wrote _Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them_, a textbook used by 


Harry Potter and his friends when they attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, reported _Deadline_. JK ROWLING, the author of _Harry Potter_, has progressed through the first


screenplay. The new film series takes place 70 years before the _Harry Potter _films. That franchise was hugely important to Warner Bros, which is eager to get it back. Frequent _Potter 


_helmer DAVID YATES will direct and DAVID HEYMAN will be back to produce the film. *** My divorce from Bruce had biggest impact on Rumer: Demi Moore IMAGE: BRUCE WILLIS AND DEMI MOORE. 


PHOTOGRAPH: FRED PROUSER/REUTERS DEMI MOORE says her separation from husband actor BRUCE WILLIS in 2000 affected their eldest daughter, RUMER, the most. 'When their father and I decided


to divorce, it probably had the biggest impact on her,' Moore said. The struggle became more pronounced as Rumer, who was then just 12-year-old, suffered public scrutiny for her


appearance in the midst of her adolescence, reported _People_ magazine. 'Media attention is tough when you are a kid, it is definitely weird to have that be such public knowledge,'


she explained in the segment. 'A couple times, things would happen in my family -- whatever drama it was -- I couldn't leave my house for a week. As I got older and people started


you know, commenting on how I look, that's when it really started to affect me.' Moore took notice of the criticism and stood by Rumer, 26, as she worked through it. 'There


really wasn't anything I could do to stop it,' the _Charlie's Angels_ actress said. 'Her self-esteem was nothing. I could only just keep loving her and loving her until


she could love herself.' Rumer currently appears on reality TV dance show _Dancing With the Stars_. 'When she said, 'I think I wanna do _Dancing With the Stars_, my whole


insides, I have to be honest, were screaming 'No,'' added Moore. 'But one of the most beautiful things that I've witnessed is watching her passion become greater


than her fear... It has nothing to do with her being my kid or Bruce's kid, it has everything to do with just who she is,' she said. The former couple, who got divorced after 13


years of marriage, also have two daughters SCOUT, 24, and TALLULAH, 21.
