We’ve had a soft spot for this
half-giant since he turned up
at the Hut-on-the-Rock, in the
middle of the night, in the midst
of a howling storm, to give
Harry a birthday cake. Aw! “You truly are the brightest
witch of your age,” says Sirius
Black to Hermione in Prisoner
of Azkaban. You won’t hear

Rowling). He also made scars,
specs and snowy owls cool –
long may his legacy continue.

Fantastic Beasts. And she’s
risking it all again in part two.
We couldn’t like her more!
Newt’s in trouble... again!

Potterheads were gloom
personified when Harry and
friends bade farewell – but
then Newt came along. This
brilliant magizoologist cast
his spell on us from the start
– and we’ll be rooting for him
once again this November.
