How is it that the electricity works in Newt’s flat? The magical energy coming from his basement must be enormous. But the lights in his living room obviously work (silly little niffler). And there’s even what looks like an old hospital surgery lamp on in the basement itself.

When I heard the line in FB about how Newt was kicked out of Hogwarts before he could graduate due to an 'accident' with a magical creature, I knew I wanted to write about it. What creature was it? Did Newt set it loose on accident...or did someone set it off on purpose?

I've only written a couple chapters so far (only in a notebook, I don't have a way to show it to you), but I wanted to write a bit about it to see if people would find it interesting. Here's the main story and some bits and pieces of ideas...and please let me know if there's anything you would add to it, change, or expand on. Any advice is helpful :D

Main Story

It's Newt Scamander's sixth (and final) year at Hogwarts. The story gives a lot more backstory to him and Theseus, and answers some questions left open by the movies (where did he meet Pick? What were his parents like?).

For the most part, his years at Hogwarts have been uneventful (at least from his classmates' point of view), until news of a mysterious Dark Wizard known as the Procurer reaches school. Boggarts are set loose on Muggles, and attacks from rare and powerful creatures spread across England. The Procurer, so named for his prized Collection of magical beasts he's gathered from around the world, is now a threat to the Wizarding World....

Ideas for the book

>Theseus knew early on that he would be a Gryffindor, and hoped that Newt would pick the same House. He and Newt had a fight after Newt decided to let the Sorting Hat choose...and they haven't gotten along well since. Theseus is also on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

>Newt meets Pickett in the book, and the two learn to work together quickly.

>Leta and Newt get along well because both have never felt as if they fit in well at school.

>Newt likes caramel (I know, random, but he seems like a caramel person)

>Newt meets lots of creatures at Hogwarts (non-magical,too) and spends as much time with them as possible. Near the beginning of the book, he even heals an injured Hippogriff he names Millie (he likes giving creatures human names, as we've seen with the Nifflers later in his life)

>Theseus look a lot like their father, while Newt takes after their mother (who was a healer and expert botanist). Newt learned about healing plants from her.

>No one has brutally obvious names for their professions/personalities. Like Corvus for a guy who's family emblem is a raven, or Lupin for a guy who's a werewolf.

>The scenes from Leta's memories will be in the book (at least, the part where he shows her the branch of Bowtruckles)

>A friend of Newt's gives him the nickname 'beast boy'

If you have any ideas, stories or plot twist ideas, let me know. Constructive criticism would be really helpful too. Thanks for any help : )

So in Newt’s biography, it talks about how before he was given the assignment to create his book, he only got paid 2 sickles a week by the MoM. That equates in today’s money as just over 5GPB or just over 8USD. How in the hell does one live on $8 a week even in the late 20’s? And he was traveling too. Even if the MoM covered expenses related to the book, it wouldn’t have once he went rogue in New York, or illegally went to Paris. And I assume he paid Bunty? And his London flat? I would like to be able to do all that on $8 a week.

I know this is a controversial opinion, and I respect those that don’t like it. However, I feel that it’s okay to also share different opinions. Because if we take her origin story into consideration the whole character of Nagini takes a major turn.

There was never anything wrong with simply having her be a snake Voldemort found. Their relationship was always interesting and unique because Nagini is the one thing in this world he feels what can be described as love as for. At least the closest he has ever gotten to feeling love for something. It makes sense for the heir of Slytherin to be closest with a snake. Salazar himself had a special bond with them.

Voldemort making her a horcrux was not just another way to live forever but to keep her with him. But it’s also not uncommon for him to allow her to go on her own if it will help him in some way. The only time he really becomes more protective over her is after she is a horcrux and she is one of the few he has left. This leads into evidence that he may care for her but he cares for his own mortality more.

To me, this makes and her origin story, make her a far more tragic figure. Which honestly wasn’t needed we have enough tragic figures in the series. There really was no need for another.

But by giving this origin story that she was once a normal witch that suffered a blood curse that made it impossible for her to change back into her human form is very sad.

When you really think of the fact this poor woman was forced to stay in the form of one of one, if not the, most hated and feared animal on the planet. Even worse she couldn’t tell anyone that she was actually once a human.

For years all she could do was suffer in silence and live in the shadows to protect herself. Until one day, after over at least 20 years of suffering in silence along came someone that she could talk to.

Is it in surprise that she would be completely devoted to the one that “rescued” her from her miserable existence?

Voldemort is a master manipulator and he flaunts it proudly. Even making sure Harry knew “you’ll find I can be very… persuasive.” And if I’m not mistaken he used her from the beginning since he used her to regain some physical form after he failed to kill Harry as a baby.

More than likely, he manipulated Nagini using her loneliness for his needs but did in some way care about her. It’s also even likely that Nagini knew she was a pawn in his game but after years of loneliness she didn’t want to risk losing the one person she could communicate with and was willingly to do whatever he needed and wanted of her to keep him around.

There is nothing wrong with having a tragic origin story like this and it’s interesting to think about. The problem is that in a series full of tragic figures another wasn’t needed.

The origin story on its own isn’t bad, it’s just to pointless that it is annoying that people the makers thought the HP universe needed another tragic character when it already has more than enough.

So this may be a complete long shot. But are there any fanfictions stories where like Newt is studying more creatures and Jacob is there? I just really want a story of them traveling together. Or all of them Tina and Newt and Jacob and Queenie.

Book

Grindelwald jumped off on Nepal temple but he can easily teleport. Is it obvious that grindelwald dead?

Im talking about the big duel 1945.

Does Gellert give it up? Or is dumbledore just that good? Is love involved? Does Gellert tell him who killed Ariana?

I wish they would show us it man, I want them to say horrible heartbreaking to each other.

I actually like mads mikkelsen better as grindelwald

And wish for more movies, because they are actually good

In this scene Vinda tells Gellert that he’s a free man now But he looks so sad like a kicked puppy cause the one person he wants the most doesn’t want him back.

He really lost the love of his life because he picked power over him

I still get confused why people act like Grindelwald just manipulated Dumbledore and didn’t love him back, when the film clearly shows that he wants him. As well as the actors and jkr saying it was mutual. It’s just such a weird denial people are in.
