Newton Artemis Fido "Newt" Scamander is a half-blood or pure blood wizard who is a framed magizoologist and the main protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise.
It is unknown if Newt is pure-blood or half-blood, as his father's blood status is unknown. According to Dumbledore, Newt does not seek power and simply asks, "what is right?" His patronus is unknown as, according to JK Rowling, is a secret.
He's Luna Lovegood's grandfather-in-law
Luna Lovegood ends up marrying Rolf Scamander, who is Newt's grandson.
Newt Scamander & Luna Lovegood
Since Neville Longbottom revealed that he was 'mad for' Luna in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011), film fans might be surprised to learn that Luna didn't actually end up with Neville but with Rolf Scamander, the grandson of Newt.
No, Newt Scamander is not Hagrid's father.
Luna Lovegood Biography & History
Luna Scamander (née Lovegood) (1981) was a witch and a member of the Lovegood family.
The writer of the Fantastic Beasts series, J.K. Rowling has never publicly stated that Newt has autism or was written to be autistic.
Newt believed that magical creatures were not dangerous if treated with respect, and Buckbeak only attacked Malfoy when he disrespected him. Due to this, Newt would have gladly traveled to Hogwarts to defend Buckbeak and try to prevent his execution, causing him to appear on the Marauder's Map.
Albus Dumbledore, despite Kendra's attempts to conceal the facts, is aware of his mother's love child, the second great family secret, and tells Gellert about his younger half-brother Newt during their no-secrets, closer-than-brothers summer together.
We know that he was writing the forewords to a new edition of his book where he confirmed his role in the capture of Grindelwald (as shown in the Fantastic Beasts movie) in 2017, so he did become at least 119–120 years old, but he might simply have been too old to fight.
Voldemort has yet to appear in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, but he is still part of the overall timeline and it's possible to guess what he's doing during that time. The Fantastic Beasts series is part of the Harry Potter universe, and takes place years before the events of the Harry Potter film series.
The Longbottoms
Neville comes from a long-line of pure-blood wizards, although we don't know as much about the individuals as we do with some other wizarding families. What we do know is that both of Neville's parents were pure-blood, as was his gran, Augusta.
Eddie Redmayne Says Newt Scamander in 'Fantastic Beasts' Is Autistic.
Albus Dumbledore states in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald that the Dumbledore family have an bloodline inherited affinity with great magical birds, which include thunderbirds and phoenixes.
Newt Scamandar is just a few years younger than Albus Dumbledore. He is not a contemporary of Harry and his friends. In the books he is mentioned only as the author of a textbook, and he never appears as a guest lecturer, let alone a teacher. So there is no need for him to be in any of the Harry Potter movies.
He hunches, seems skittish around people, and often avoids eye contact. All of this anti-social behavior falls in line with Newt's introverted personality, but one Reddit user has a different theory. Newt acts this way because he approaches people the same way he approaches animals.
Snape did not recognize the Marauder's Map because he has never seen the map before. The Marauder's would never show it to him and he did not know about it to recognize it. There is no scenario which would lead the Marauder's to show their map to someone they did not like - Snape.
Luna Lovegood, from J.K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter series, is a dreamy example of inattentive ADHD. Even when captured by members of the Inquisitorial Squad, she stares out the window, distracted.
Did you spot Newt Scamander in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? You'd have to have the lamp-like eyes of Filch's cat Mrs Norris to spot this one: Newt Scamander actually appears in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and not just as a name on a textbook.
There's only one answer, and it's that the Kelpie is Newt's Patronus. A Kelpie is a shape-shifting beast that lives within water. It is not to be approached by humans — unless they want to be eaten. Newt documented the Kelpie in his hit book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Cho Chang is a Ravenclaw student one year above Harry, and is the Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. She is Harry's first love interest, is described as being "very pretty" with long dark hair and is frequently accompanied by a group of giggling girls.
After Hogwarts
Newt Scamander remained his caring attitude towards Leta many years after their parting, and eventually fell in love with her. He kept a framed photograph of her in the work shed inside his magically-expanded suitcase during his travels.
