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.
Imagine: Several months have passed since you and Newt have separated. Once reunited in an unexpected situation, neither of you can deny the feelings that were left behind.

FANTASTIC BEASTS & WHERE TO FIND THEM - CHARACTER AESTHETICS • Newt Scamander ~ The Traveller • Porpentina Goldstein ~ The Auror • Queenie Goldstein ~ The Legliment • Jacob Kowalski ~ The Baker
To everyone being dramatic over the portrayal of Dumbledore and Grindlewald don’t even try and deny you’re still excited as fuck to see Newt and Pickett and Dougal and Niffler and Jacob and Queenie and Tina and Credence again, and that trailer definately still made you feel all magical and warm inside.
