Rigging the election to ensure the qilin would choose Grindelwald to take his place meant Vogel would always have an ally working on the inside. By encouraging Grindelwald to run in the election, Vogel was setting himself up for success in the future. Anton Vogel was already leaving his position as Supreme Head of the International Confederation of Wizards. Germany’s Minister of Magic was an intriguing and unexpected foil to Newt and Dumbledore’s crew, primarily because audiences never knew which way he would lean in the end. Newt (sort-of) captures the beast by performing a mating dance.Anton Vogel ignored Dumbledore’s message about doing what was right and not what was easy. The erumpant is one of Newt’s missing beasts, running to the zoo in search of a breeding mate. Potter fans will remember that Xenophilius Lovegood’s home was destroyed by an erumpant horn (a highly explosive material) which he believed to be the the horn of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. But this isn’t the first time food’s been picked up by an invisible entity in the Harry Potter universe. No-maj residents of New York get a shock when the invisible Demiguise eats an apple floating seemingly in mid-air. The floating lollypop & The floating apple The one which chases him round the room with gnarling teeth. Those claws opening Newt’s briefcase are a visual Easter egg to Harry’s Care Of Magical Creatures textbook in his third year. The Monster Book Of Monsters & Newt’s suitcase Newt Scamander says it, Horace Slughorn says it, Cedric Diggory’s dad says it. Like “Oh my God!” for wizards and witches. “I’m more of a chaser, really”, responds Mr Scamander. There is a house-elf working behind the bar (RIP Dobby), and several Goblins, including Gnarlack, the black market trader who tips them off on the whereabouts of Newt’s Demiguise.Īlmost as soon as he enters New York, Newt encounters Mary Lou Barebone, head of the anti-wizarding New Salem Philanthropic Society. The heroes of ‘Fantastic Beasts’ visit a speakeasy bar in search of information regarding Newt’s missing creatures. During Dolores Umbridge’s tenure as Headmistress, Lee Jordan lifts a Niffler into her office, causing havoc. They also make an appearance in the Harry Potter series – in their fourth year, Hagrid pairs the students in his Care of Magical Creatures class with their own Niffler to help them dig for Leprechaun gold. They have a serious attraction towards shiny objects. Newt’s naughty Niffler is the cause of much of his anxiety throughout Fantastic Beasts. In Fantastic Beasts, Newt tells Jacob Kowalski that he worked with Ukranian Ironbellies during the First World War. The trio find her vault guarded by Ukranian Ironbelly, which serves as their escape route once the Pollyjuice Potion wears off. In Harry Potter And The Deathy Hallows, Hermione enters Gringotts as Bellatrix Lestrange, breaking into the Death Eater’s vault. He carries a Hufflepuff scarf in his briefcase. Newt immediately jumps in to claim the same for Hogwarts. It’s brought up again later at the Goldstein sisters’ apartment, where Tina and Queenie claim that the American wizarding school, Ilvermoney, is the greatest in the world. Graves mentions Hogwarts (and Newt’s expulsion) in the interrogation scene. Director David Yates has said that Leta’s story will be explored further in the coming films. He still has strong feelings for her and carries her picture with him in his expanding suitcase. Incapable to seeing his friend expelled, Newt took responsibility for the accident. Bonding over their shared love of magical creatures, Leta performed an experiment which went wrong during her time at Hogwarts, endangering another student. Leta Lestrange, one of her husband’s ancestors, is mentioned in Fantastic Beasts as an old friend of Newt’s. One of the Harry Potter franchise’s cruelest villains, Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the last Death Eaters to be killed at the Battle of Hogwarts. You may have heard this familiar name mentioned in Fantastic Beasts. In his interrogation with Percival Graves, Newt’s expulsion from Hogwarts is brought up, and Newt is asked why Albus Dumbledore (his transfiguration teacher at the time) worked so hard to defend the student. Rather reminiscent of the pendant Xenophilius Lovegood wears in Deathly Hallows. When Percival Graves accosts Credence in Fantastic Beasts, he gives him a necklace with that very same symbol. He pursued the Deathly Hallows, which became his symbol. He killed his opposition, but justified this as necessary for the ‘Greater Good’, a slogan coined by Albus Dumbledore. He attempted to lead a wizarding revolution overturning the secrecy of wizards, believing he should become the ‘benevolent overlord’ of muggles. He’s also a key figure in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, often dubbed the most dangerous dark wizard in history prior to the rise of Lord Voldemort.
