Newton "Newt" Artemis Fido Scamander is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts film series.

Story-Breaker Power: Queenie is such a powerful Legilimens that the story has to find workarounds for her not to know everything. This is mostly done by having her solely interact with foreigners whose thoughts she can’t understand. It’s established late in the first movie that she has trouble understanding thoughts of even native English speakers who have different accents, like Newt. From the time she leaves Newt’s house in the second until she and Jacob reunite at the rally, she doesn’t interact with anyone who’s a native speaker so she can’t understand her thoughts. The language barrier is used by Grindelwald to manipulate her into his cause. Allergic to Routine: Newt's worst fear (as represented by his boggart) is having a Soul-Crushing Desk Job, so he tries to avoid it by any means necessary, and when given a chance to lift his travel ban by joining his brother's department in the government, he flatly refuses with no hesitation. Unfazed Everyman: All told, he rolls pretty well with the phenomenon of magic being revealed to him.

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. Harrison-Dengate, Eleanor (2015-05-21).

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tina is the Tomboy and Action Girl of the family, being an Auror, and loves to wear trousers, while her younger sister Queenie is much more feminine. That said, Tina is much more obsessed with following the rules, while Queenie has a huge rebellious streak. This eventually causes a rift when Queenie carries on her relationship with Jacob, despite it being illegal under MACUSA. Tina doesn't turn her sister in, but she does try to talk her out it, which Queenie doesn't like.

Laugh of Love: She tends to laugh when she's with Jacob, which he tends to reciprocate. A particularly​ touching one occurs at the end of the film, when she giggles softly upon seeing Jacob at his bakery after he's had his mind wiped, and he grins in response, indicating that he remembers her in some capacity. Jumped at the Call: Newt hated his first Ministry job at House-Elf Relocation, and relished the chance to be paid to travel the world and research magical creatures. The trio while having the occasional hiccups, are very close friends and remain that way into adulthood; Newt and his friends are like that until Queenie defects to Grindelwald.Rowling, J. K. (2018).

Logical Weakness: While she can read the minds of people whose first language isn’t English, she can’t understand their thoughts. She even tells Newt in the first movie she has troubles with native English speakers who have a different accent. Newt, who has a hard time even looking people he likes directly in the eye, looks Grindelwald in the eyes as he passes. Also, when talking to Credence in his Obscurial form, he looks directly at him.

All Take and No Give: Tragically what her relationship with Jacob devolves into, despite her observation on that very subject about Leta and Newt. They love each other, but under MACUSA law they can't marry. Jacob decides it's best to keep their relationship hidden and unofficial, rather than see Queenie imprisoned. But Queenie, refusing to see reason, goes so far as to enchant him and drag him to London to get married in Europe where it's legal. It only gets worse from there. After discovering by Graves the harmless Obscurus that Newt brought to New York in the suitcase, during an interrogation, Newt was blamed by him for the actions of an particularly powerful Obscurus which killed Senator . Scamander was also accused by him for letting the animals For the Greater Good, in an attempt to begin a war. Newt's protests have done nothing and he was sentenced to death, as well as Tina.
