Introduced in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Newt Scamander
Newt Scamander is an introverted British wizard and magizoologist, as well as a member of Hogwarts' Hufflepuff House. In Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Newt arrives in New York, where he encounters Muggle Jacob Kowalski, demoted auror Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein and Tina's Legilimens sister Queenie Goldstein. Newt works together with the trio and rounds up escaped magical beasts. After an obscurial attack, Newt prevents the exposure of the wizarding world to American Muggle (known as No-maj) community through an obliviating potion, dispersed by his thunderbird Frank.
In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Newt illegally reaches Paris with Jacob in order to track and save Credence Barebone, the obscurial responsible for the New York attack. He faces another challenge as Tina, whom he has begun to love, shuns him upon thinking that he is engaged. Nonetheless, Newt clears the misunderstanding and reconciles with Tina. After a destructive rally of Grindelwald's followers during which Credence and Queenie join dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, Newt chooses to join the fight against Grindelwald.
Newt reappears in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
