After escaping, the pair had to infiltrate the French Ministry of magic to figure out who Credence was. Newt Scamander took on the appearance of his brother Theseus using Polyjuice Potion. They later discovered that Creedence was not the half-brother related to the Lestrange family. Paris Rally Sometime during the First World War from 1914 to 1918, Scamander served on the Eastern Front in a confidential Ministry of Magic programme to wrangle Ukrainian Ironbellys. The programme was ultimately cancelled as the dragons only responded to Scamander and tried to eat everyone else. [25] [26] [27] Heading to a Macy's department store, they discovered Newt's Demiguise stealing things for an overlooked Occamy. After some initial difficulties, Tina helped entrap the Occamy in a teapot, bringing an end to the search for escaped creatures.

When Queenie announced that she and Jacob were engaged and planned to be married, Newt noticed Jacob's odd behaviour and realised he had been enchanted by her, using a powerful love enchantment. After a brief argument Queenie agreed, and Newt lifted the spell. In cause Jacob, fearing that she would be punished for marrying a no-Maj, refused to marry her, so Queenie, feeling betrayed, disapparated to find Tina. Newt fixed the postcard Queenie lost and discovered that Tina was in Paris looking for Credence. It was only after learning where Tina was that Newt made the decision to go after Credence himself. Of course, he was highly talented when it came to his versatility and ability to handle dangerous situations. This was something he proved time and time again despite how awkward his character was. He was accomplished at charms work, repairing Jacob Kowalski’s apartment in a matter of seconds, using a shield charm to protect against Grindelwald, and of course, applying the undetectable extension charm to his suitcase, which created multiple levels and habitats. Porpentina Esther [1] "Tina" Scamander (née Goldstein) [12] (b. 19 August 1901) [1] was an American half-blood witch. She attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into Thunderbird house. After graduating from Ilvermorny, she became an Auror for the Magical Congress of the United States of America. [13] Unexpectedly they found themselves at a rally held by Grindelwald in a mausoleum. This rally resulted in a stupendous fight between Grindelwald and the “good guys,” including the two Scamander brothers. Leta Lestrange died trying to protect the group, leaving both brothers devastated. Nicholas Flamel arrived at the cemetery to help combat the magical power of Grindelwald, but during this time, Grindelwald delivered a rousing speech that brought Queenie and Credence, among other followers, to his side. The goal was to strike out against Hogwarts and then the whole world. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Secrets of Dumbledore Newt has a scientist's eye and the thirst for knowledge about magical creatures, with the motive of protecting them and educating others about them. Newt "bumbles" into the heart of danger, especially if a mysterious species is involved. Newt is fascinated by all sorts of magical creatures—those by which wizards and witches are deeply terrified.

At some point during the 1980s, Newt befriended Hogwarts Care of Magical Creatures professor Silvanus Kettleburn. Newt would later send one of his Leucrottas to Kettleburn after he was unable to convince the beast to open his mouth to allow either him or Bunty to clean his teeth, hoping that Kettleburn could help him figure out what was wrong with the beast. After the Leucrotta's teeth were successfully cleaned, Newt was made aware of the bond that had formed between it and the student who had helped it, deciding to allow the beast to remain at Hogwarts. [40] Newt would later visit Hogwarts once again, with several of his creatures managing to escape his suitcase, which itself later went missing, allowing them to wander around the school. The same student that bonded with the Leucrotta managed to rescue the creatures from Dumbledore's office, Hagrid's Hut, and the Hufflepuff common room, in addition to finding Newt's case in the Hufflepuff Common Room as well, to Newt's great relief. [41]Introducing themselves to Melusine, the Ministry of Magic employee, as Theseus and Leta, Newt and Tina entered the Ministry's Records Room. Newt was finally able to explain to Tina that he was not engaged to Leta and repaired their relationship, before they were discovered by Leta searching for the box too. They discovered that the family box had been moved to the Lestrange Mausoleum in the Père Lachaise Cemetery. Melusine detected Newt's and Tina's lie and sent Matagots after them and Leta. Newt sent both women into the suitcase and with the help of the Zouwu, that he had saved earlier, he fled to the cemetery.

When shreds of Credence's Obscurus form fled the scene, Graves went on a rant in which Newt deduced who he really was. With the help of the Swooping Evil and Tina, Newt captured Graves and revealed that he was none other than famous Dark wizard and international criminal, Gellert Grindelwald, using Human Transfiguration to assume the identity of MACUSA's employee. [30] While being apprehended by Aurors, Grindelwald met Newt's gaze and mysteriously asked him: "Will we die, just a little?". Following his return to London, Newt was reprimanded by the Ministry for his role in the Obscurus incident and his right to travel internationally was revoked, meaning he couldn't deliver Tina the book as he had promised her. Newt had corresponded with her by letter, but he had soured the relationship by his missteps. The real-world book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them features a biography of Newt Scamander which states he retired in 1979. It also features an introduction by Albus Dumbledore, who, canonically, died in 1997. It can thus be concluded that the information about the Scamanders living in Dorset and owning three Kneazles was current within this timeframe. Newt Scamander followed the foster child named Credence. Credence had been taken in by the woman in charge of the philanthropic society aimed at alleviating all witches. Tina had been monitoring the group, which led to her getting fired from her position as an author. She had engaged with Credence in the past. During this time, some of the creatures get out, and it becomes the job of Newt Scamander and Tina to travel throughout New York and rescue them. As part of this adventure unfolds, Newt Scamander and Jacob Kowalski meet Tina’s sister, with whom Jacob falls madly in love. Unfortunately, Wizarding laws in America stipulate that Wizards and witches can have no relationships of any kind with non-magical people. The ObscurialIt would take months to contradict every other wild assertion in Ms Skeeter's book... it is true that I was the first person ever to capture Gellert Grindelwald, and also true that Albus Dumbledore was something more than a schoolteacher to me. More than this, I cannot say, without fear of breaching the Official Magical Secrets Act or, more importantly, the confidences that Dumbledore, most private of men, placed in me." — Newt Scamander describing his trip to America [src] His textbook was published the following year and became an approved textbook for Hogwarts. He became quite famous throughout the Wizarding World. Flourish and Blotts had a launch party for the book. His childhood friend Leta Lestrange and his older brother Theseus came to the event. A newspaper wrongly declared that Leta was engaged to Newt Scamander when in fact, Leta was engaged to his older brother Theseus. Rowling, J. K. (2018).

You’ve watched him point it at Dan Fogler’s character, Jacob. You’ve heard him use it to cast the Lumos Maxima spell in Hall H, when the actor leapt into the crowd at San Diego Comic-Con to help give out replicas to over 6,000 roaring fans.

It’s made of organic materials. Some of the choices were fossilised, but I didn’t like the idea of the death of creatures. Not for Newt. There was something slightly sort of Mother of Pearly about this one and the simplicity of the wood, I liked that. In the Winter of 1932, Albus Dumbledore enlisted Newt to start a army to help him in moving against Gellert Grindelwald and his Alliance. He also told him that Newt has to go find a magical Beast, called a Qilin that originated in China, in a mountaineous area called Kweilin, in the Tianzi Mountains. Knowing at the same time, Gellert Grindelwald was searching for this creature. [38] Visit to Kweilin At Hog's Head they met Aberforth and Bunty, who returned from Berlin. Dumbledore later told Newt that Credence was actually his nephew Aurelius Dumbledore, the long-lost son of Aberforth from a relationship that he had with a girl from Godric's Hollow the same summer that Albus had fallen in love with Grindelwald. Albus confided in Newt the truth about Credence, along with the fact that Credence's Obscurial nature was slowly killing him, stating that they both knew that Credence couldn't be saved. Albus opened up to Newt about his sister Ariana - who was also an Obscurial - and her death. However, Newt's attempts to comfort his friend failed. [38] However, after leaving the Goldsteins' apartment, Newt spotted his Niffler behind a window of the jewellery store. He used the Finestra spell to shatter the glass and get inside. Newt furiously attempted to capture the Niffler, falling through the other window in the process. Subsequently, they were confronted by a squad of policemen, who were puzzled by the sight of the Niffler. Jacob then directed their attention to a lion wandering right by them, giving him and Newt the opportunity to disapparate from the street.

There is a portrait of Newt Scamander hanging in the headmaster’s office in the Harry Potter film franchise, implying that at some point, he had been a Headmaster and that he died before the film’s beginning, although this isn’t confirmed. Earlier this year, I caught up with junior concept designer Molly Sole on the set of Fantastic Beasts. Grasping the sketches of wand options that Eddie first saw, she gave me a few more details about his choice.
