In 2004’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Fred and also George Weasley memorably offer Harry the Marauder’s Map. As they describe exactly how to make use of the greatly valuable tool, which reveals you where anyone in Hogwarts goes to any kind of offered time, an unusual name appears. Yep: Newt Scamander.
Played by Eddie Redmayne, Newt Scamander is a lead character in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding globe and is the wizard at the facility of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Though the movie takes place numerous decades prior to the events in the Harry Potter collection, Newt’s tale still referrals Harry’s globe greatly– however did you recognize that the character of Newt made a look in one of the original films, 12 years prior to the Fantastic Beasts movie collection?
Y’ understand what I simply LOVE?! That in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry opens up the Marauder’s Map for the very first time, you can actually see Newt Scamander’s name on the map. In 1993, when he was 96 years old he was functioning in Hogwarts!! pic.twitter.com/viQhibhfQp

Undoubtedly, it’s simply his name and not Redmayne himself, yet the connection is now astonishing. What else is strange is that this little film facts was noticed by eagle-eyed followers years earlier, before the Fantastic Beasts franchise business was also in advancement (Warner Bros. introduced prepare for the movies in 2013).
Of course, Scamander was currently a personality in the Harry Potter publication collection as the writer of the Hogwarts book of the exact same name as the film, but was Rowling planting the seed for him to play a bigger function in deep space, even then? And also taking into consideration just how much earlier Newt’s tale occurs, he would certainly be quite elderly as he’s hanging out at Hogwarts (probably 96, as this Twitter individual mentions). Hey, Dumbledore was working at the school up until his untimely death at 150, so it’s feasible. Plainly, Newt’s story played a bigger roll than we had ever anticipated.
