In 2004’s Harry Potter as well as the Prisoner of Azkaban, Fred as well as George Weasley memorably give Harry the Marauder’s Map. As they explain just how to utilize the massively beneficial device, which reveals you where anybody in Hogwarts goes to any kind of offered time, an unusual name shows up. Yep: Newt Scamander.
Played by Eddie Redmayne, Newt Scamander is a lead character in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world and also is the wizard at the center of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Though the film takes place a number of years before the events in the Harry Potter series, Newt’s story still referrals Harry’s world greatly— yet did you know that the character of Newt made a look in among the original movies, 12 years before the Fantastic Beasts movie series?
Y’ know what I just LOVE?! That in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry opens the Marauder’s Map for the very first time, you can really see Newt Scamander’s name on the map. So in 1993, when he was 96 years old he was operating in Hogwarts!!

Clearly, it’s simply his name and also not Redmayne himself, yet the link is now wonderful. What else is unusual is that this little bit of motion picture trivia was observed by eagle-eyed followers years back, prior to the Fantastic Beasts franchise business was also in development (Warner Bros. introduced plans for the movies in 2013).
Naturally, Scamander was already a character in the Harry Potter book collection as the writer of the Hogwarts textbook of the very same name as the film, however was Rowling planting the seed for him to play a larger role in deep space, also then? And considering how much earlier Newt’s story takes place, he ‘d be quite senior as he’s hanging out at Hogwarts (probably 96, as this Twitter customer points out). However hey, Dumbledore was working at the institution until his unforeseen fatality at 150, so it’s possible. Plainly, Newt’s story played a larger roll than we had ever before anticipated.
