MEET NEWT
$CaMANDER
Born in 1897 and had developed an
interest in magical creatures from an
early age. This is due to his mother
being a breeder of Hippogriffs, and
as a child he would be in his room
dismembering Horklumps regularly.
Attended Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he
was sorted into Hufflepuff. During
his time at Hogwarts he had a
key interest in studying magical
creatures. He had developed a
friendship with Leta Lestrange,
who also shared his love for
magical beasts as well as feeling
as an outsider. One day, she had
performed an experiment that was
too dangerous and had endangered a
student. Instead of seeing his friend
expelled he took the blame which
lead to him being expelled instead of
her. Albus Dumbledore who taught
transfiguration at the time, had
argued strongly but in vain against
his expulsion. But sometime after a
later date he might have been able to
re-enter Hogwarts and graduate.
When he had left Hogwarts, he went
to work at the Ministry of Magic in
the Department for the Regulation
and Control of Magical Creatures. He
worked for two years in the Office for
House-Elf Relocation before he had
transferred over to the beast division
where he had excelled and led to a
rapid series of promotions.
In 1918, Augustus Worme of
Obscurus Books had appointed
Scamander to write the first edition
of Fantastic Beasts and Where to
Find Them. He jumped at the chance
as he was only earning 2 sickles a
week working at the Ministry. He
had travelled to a hundred countries
through five continents for research
for his book and observing many
creatures.
