Although I do like the Newtina ship, but as a black female fan of the Harry Potter franchise, I was rooting for Leta and Newt more. Taking away the race dynamics, Leta and Newt simply have more chemistry than Newt and Tina. The way that Newt starred at the photo of her in the first film was beautiful. Leta Lestrange’s storyline is incredibly hurtful and offensive. If you’re going to write more diversie characters, specifically black female characters, don’t write her as the product of the rape of a black woman, a “tragic mulatto,” and then only to have her sacrifice herself for her white suitors. Regardless of which Scamander she ended up with, I wanted Leta to be more than a mere footnote in the love story of Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein’s relationship. I wanted to see more black women be sought after and loved as full human beings and love interest in sci-fi/fantasy. I know that Tina and Newt’s marriage and Bellatrix Lestrange exist in the HP books. So, does that mean JK Rowling planned this awful storyline from the beginning? However, At the very least, a fun friendship between Leta, Newt, Tina, Queenie, and Jacob. I honestly wish JK Rowling hadn’t even created Leta Lestrange to disrespect her in this way.

Would anyone be into writing or (co-writing with me) a Newt Scamder x Black!Reader series, or do I have to do it? It’d be cool to see with the time frame and Newt’s personality.

*Thinks men are trash because women and femmes are systematically oppressed through patriarchy*

*Thinks maybe men aren’t trash because Newt Scamander, T'Challa, Jack Pearson, and Randall Pearson all exist*

*Remembers these men are all fictional characters and I rarely meet men in real life as extraordinary as ones on film, and rarely see women on film as extraordinary as ones I know in real life.*

*Continues to think men are trash*

Couldn’t leave September the 1st without a Harry Potter Post!

Death’s got an Invisibility Cloak?“ Harry interrupted again.

"So he can sneak up on people,” said Ron. “Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking…

I have always enjoyed the Harry Potter series, but this book is definitely the saddest of them all, but also the most inspiring. Too many of the characters die, including my favourite- Fred Weasley! The film misses out quite a few parts but it also adds in bits that aren’t from the film. 5/5
