Mallory and Alexis discuss the characters in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. What's Newt's deal with his brother? How is he going to stay relevant to the broader Grindelwald/Dumbledore story that J.K. Rowling is trying to cover? Plus, we gush over our love for Queenie.

• David Heyman is spreading false rumors on twitter, but at least Jo's clarified some things
• Newt wasn't expelled! Or he kinda was! Or he was! We think we get some clarification but in this era of FALSE NEWS who actually knows
• Newt Scamander is a sweet, irresponsible pumpkin
• Grindelwald: a lying seer, which meaaaans....???
• Tina: who is she, really?
• Jacob the could-be Wampus
• Queenie and a power of connection that alienates her from everyone :(
• Other characters and how they may return in future films
• Our wands on Pottermore!
