fantastic beasts and where to find them scamander

Tina takes Newt to her old office and is confronted by Graves and other aurors. The MACUSA president, Seraphina Picquery ( Carmen Ejogo), is not happy to see Tina there since she was once an auror but was dismissed due to a previous incident. Tina brings Newt to the headquarters of the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) because he was using magic in front of no-majes (the American term for muggles).

Tina catches Newt and takes him with her after seeing what he's been carrying. Newt prepares to obliviate Jacob and wipe his memories, but Jacob grabs his case and hits Newt in the face before running off. Newt petrifies him and gets the niffler to drop all the things it stole before he apparates himself and Jacob out of the bank. Newt and Jacob find the niffler in the bank vault just as a bank employee catches them. Newt uses his wand to pull Jacob toward him, which is seen by Porpentina Goldstein ( Katherine Waterston), an American witch. Before Newt can grab the niffler, Jacob notes that the egg is hatching. Newt tries to catch the niffler while Jacob meets with a bank employee to get the loan, but since he uses baked goods as collateral instead of something valuable, he is denied. Newt runs off when he sees the niffler, leaving behind an occamy egg that Jacob picks up. Inside the bank, Newt meets Jacob Kowalski ( Dan Fogler), a factory worker who is there to apply for a loan so he can open a bakery. It makes its way into the bank, forcing Newt to go after it. As she tries to get Newt to join her, a niffler escapes from his case when it sees a shiny silver coin.

With her adopted children - Credence ( Ezra Miller), Modesty ( Faith Wood-Blagrove), and Chastity ( Jenn Murray) - she spreads a hateful message about magic folk and how they need to be exterminated. As he walks through the city, Newt comes across Mary Lou Barebone ( Samantha Morton), a fundamentalist and leader of the Second Salemers, an anti-magic group. An unseen force runs underground and destroys part of the street. The auror Percival Graves ( Colin Farrell) comes by to see the damage. Some men are inspecting a building downtown that has been torn through. When he arrives, his case is inspected by a customs official, but Newt is able to hide the magic from muggle eyes. Newt Scamander ( Eddie Redmayne) travels from London to New York City with a briefcase full of magical creatures, or fantastic beasts.

Witches and wizards from all over the world are on high alert as he prepares to launch his next attack. In the year 1926 in the Harry Potter universe, the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is terrorizing the magical community.
