J.K. Rowling recently gave more insight into one of the most controversial characters in the Wizarding World: Nagini, who was known only as Voldemort's snake in "Harry Potter," but appears as a woman in the prequel series, "Fantastic Beasts."
In “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” Claudia Kim's previously unrevealed character is a witch named Nagini, who has the ability to turn into a snake.
It's later revealed that Nagini was never an ordinary magical snake from start, as she was once in fact, a human (possibly a Witch) who became a snake as she is now as result of a blood curse and trapped in that form for the rest of her life.
Voldemort had a special relationship with Nagini, as she was his pet and one of his Horcruxes. According to Dumbledore, Voldemort had strong feelings for Nagini that he had not for anyone else; she was the one living thing that he had ever cared about.
Voldemort was born Tom Riddle in 1926, which is when the first Fantastic Beasts film takes place. In Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, there's a bit of a time jump, setting the year as 1932. This would make Tom Riddle around 6 years old at the time.
“Grindelwald” should be a familiar name to Harry Potter fans. While Voldemort was the primary antagonist of that series, Grindelwald was, in many ways, his predecessor.

Nagini is Voldemort's mother.
The Crimes of Grindelwald takes place in 1927, and Voldemort is born late in 1926.
Dumbledore does not use any language to make one think that Nagini is anything more than a snake. But this could be despite his knowledge of Nagini's past because he has to factor his grand plans into everything he tells (or doesn't tell) Harry.
In 1994, Death Eater Peter Pettigrew milked the venom from Nagini's fangs and used it, along with unicorn blood, to concoct a dark potion, which allowed Lord Voldemort's shattered soul to regain a rudimentary, but physical form.
When Harry and Hermione are on the first floor of Bathilda's house, Nagini (inside the corpse of Bathilda) tells Harry to "Come!" from the next room in Parseltongue. In reaction, Hermione jumps and clutches Harry's arm, and the two of them obey the command.
There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was given a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female.
Harry quickly tells Neville that he must destroy Nagini, Voldemort's snake. Nagini is the last Horcrux that Voldemort created and the last one to be destroyed. During the final battle of Hogwarts, Neville pulls the sword of Godric Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat and beheads Nagini, destroying the last Horcrux.
Credence may well be related to Voldemort, but it would have to be through Voldemort's grandmother. That also means the mystery woman must've had a second child: Merope Gaunt, born in 1907. It's entirely possible that Aberforth could have sired a child with Voldemort's grandmother.
In Harry Potter, Harry and Hermione fall into Voldemort's trap with Nagini disguised as Bathilda Bagshot.
Author JK Rowling announced Albus Dumbledore was gay in 2007. It's known that he and Grindelwald were in a romantic relationship but it had never been explored in the previous Harry Potter films. Fantastic Beasts 3 might address the depth of their relationship.
Harry can no longer speak it
Harry being an accidental Horcrux meant he was bound to Voldemort in so many ways, just like Voldemort was bound to serpents. Not only could Harry speak the language of the snake, but could see through the eyes of Nagini, another of Voldemort's Horcruxes, as it turned out.
no! they were all busy killing the enemy's troops and so was Nagini. it takes a long time for a snake to digest the food it has swallowed.
In the movies, Nagini was the one who killed Snape in the boathouse. The Maledictus meets her end when Neville Longbottom finds Gryffindor's sword and, in an attempt to destroy the final Horcrux, cuts off her head.
Deathly HallowsEdit
Nagini, Voldemort's snake, then eats Professor Burbage's dead body. A story about her "resignation" from Hogwarts appears in the Prophet, but members of the Order of the Phoenix discount it, as they are unable to locate her anywhere after that.
Throughout most of the series, the cloak is shown to hide those under it better than any other Invisibility Cloak in existence. But in Deathly Hallows, Nagini as Bathilda Bagshot is able to instantly recognize Harry and Hermione under the cloak and transformed using polyjuice potion.
It wasn't just inanimate objects that could become Horcruxes. Lord Voldemort's beloved snake companion, Nagini, was also transformed into one, and Dumbledore seemed to know it, ominously predicting that a day would come where Voldemort would 'fear for his snake'.
After Voldemort was gone, Nagini decided to follow her dreams. She went to Brazil to join other snakes in the Amazon rain forest. While there, her adventures with Voldemort inspired her to write a song in Parseltongue called "I Thought You Were Pretty Cool But Then You Couldn't Even Defeat a Baby.

No, Nagini is not a Basilisk. While Nagini, like the Basilisk, is a snake and responds to Parseltongue, she is not a Basilisk. While Nagini resembles a python in the movies and the books, in the Harry Potter prequel series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it is shown that Nagini is a woman with a blood curse.
