So it's altogether possible that a younger Hagrid met a middle-aged Scamander at Hogwarts in the '40s. There's another connection (besides caring for misunderstood beasts of the world) between the two. Hagrid and Scamander were both expelled from Hogwarts, only to return as professors later.
There are remarkable resemblances between them – both were outsiders at Hogwarts, both were unceremoniously expelled from the school, and both thought that the wider wizarding community misunderstood the beauty of magical creatures.
Initially, Newt Scamander was only mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the author of the book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, which was used as a textbook for Care of Magical Creatures by Harry Potter and his classmates.
There is a theory that says that Aragog was given to him by Newt Scamender. According to the theory, Newt visits Hogwarts and in the process meets Hagrid and gives him Aragog after seeing his love for animals.
Obviously they weren't at school together, Newt was before Hagrid's time but I would be very much surprised if they didn't know each other. They both love magical creatures so much, especially ones other wizards don't.
No, Hagrid is not in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He would not have been born yet. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them serves as a prequel for the Harry Potter series, where Hagrid is a recurring character.
No. You do realize that Hagrid is his surname and that his first name is Rubeus, right? If Newt Scamander were his father, then his name would be Rubeus Scamander. Not to mention that Hagrid stated that his father died while he was still a student, while Newt was still alive in the 1990's.
However, one theory justifies Newt's appearance on the Marauder's Map. It is possible that Newt may have been in Hogwarts to try to save Buckbeak, the hippogriff, from execution. This makes sense given Newt's background and the Harry Potter timeline.
In an alternate universe, Newt Scamander isn't traversing the globe in search of magical creatures, but causing trouble and opening the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts as a young Tom Riddle.
Hagrid's fellow student, Tom Riddle found out about Aragog. To cover up opening the Chamber of Secrets and unleashing a Basilisk, he framed Hagrid and Aragog instead, saying Aragog had killed the girl. He tried to apprehend Aragog, but he escaped into the Forbidden Forest due to Hagrid's intervention.
He's Luna Lovegood's grandfather-in-law
Luna Lovegood ends up marrying Rolf Scamander, who is Newt's grandson. If grandson is anything like his grandfather — which is quite likely, as both are magizoologists — that means we can expect Newt to be a bit of an eccentric. His family history supports this.
Because Newt is 29 years old and the oldest we see Harry do magic is 17. We also usually only see Harry practicing magic in school or using defensive spells whereas Newt is using practical spells beyond what you would use in school. Well, in the books we do see a lot more than in the movies.
Newton Artemis Fido "Newt" Scamander is a half-blood or pure blood wizard who is a framed magizoologist and the main protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise.
Newt Scamandar is just a few years younger than Albus Dumbledore. He is not a contemporary of Harry and his friends. In the books he is mentioned only as the author of a textbook, and he never appears as a guest lecturer, let alone a teacher. So there is no need for him to be in any of the Harry Potter movies.
Luna Scamander (née Lovegood) (1981) was a witch and a member of the Lovegood family. In 1992 she started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Ravenclaw House. In her fifth year, she became a member of Dumbledore's Army, an organization taught and led by Harry Potter.
Voldemort has yet to appear in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, but he is still part of the overall timeline and it's possible to guess what he's doing during that time. The Fantastic Beasts series is part of the Harry Potter universe, and takes place years before the events of the Harry Potter film series.
"Hagrid is one of Voldemort's oldest associates, and knows his true identity" In Chamber of Secrets, it is revealed that Hagrid had been a student at Hogwarts during the same period that Tom Riddle (the true identity of Lord Voldemort) also frequented the school.
Newt is the hero of the new Fantastic Beasts movies, and, while the young wizard may not seem extremely powerful at first, it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's more powerful than Voldemort.
He hunches, seems skittish around people, and often avoids eye contact. All of this anti-social behavior falls in line with Newt's introverted personality, but one Reddit user has a different theory. Newt acts this way because he approaches people the same way he approaches animals.
This is because Snape didn't know that there was something called the Marauder's Map at the very first place. Also,no one told him about the map. Marauder's Map was and idea coined by Remus Lupin (Moony), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail), Sirius Black (Padfoot) and James Potter (Prongs).
According to Pottermore, Scamander was born in 1897, and by the time the third novel takes place it's 1994, putting the textbook author at a grand old age of... 97.
Children: Newt and Tina have at least one son. Grandchildren: At least one grandson, Rolf Scamander, who married Luna Lovegood. They have twin sons, Lorcan and Lysander.
Since that time, it has been discounted as a symptom of autism rather than its distinct disorder. The writer of the Fantastic Beasts series, J.K. Rowling has never publicly stated that Newt has autism or was written to be autistic.
In a Q&A with Harry Potter fans on Twitter, J.K. Rowling was quizzed what Hagrid's Patronus would be. In reply, she wrote, 'Hagrid couldn't produce a Patronus. It's a very difficult spell. '
