In this episode, we discuss the wonderful traits of Jacob Kowalski. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:
·      2:12 Jacob is a good person. That single fact drives his entire character. He is a fantastic companion and friend to Newt. Newt has always been on the outs of society and has had trouble finding friends. But with Jacob, Newt had no trouble at all fitting in. Jacob was also a good support system for Newt. Jacob is the living representation of “we must always make the choice between what is right and what is easy”. When Lally came to the bakery in the Secrets of Dumbledore, Jacob made the decision to go with her and help save the world even though he knew it could be the end of him as well.

·      8:18 Jacob helps even though he isn’t a wizard. He can’t cast spells or take part in duels, but he still aids in other ways. For example, he helped Newt find the erumpent in Central Park. Without Jacob Newt wouldn’t have found the erumpent and might still be looking for it today. Jacob also was the thrower of the bug in the teapot in the Macey’s department store. He also helps Newt in his case with all the magical creatures. He may not be a wizard, but Jacob can still help out.

·      12:49 Jacob understands people. One thing in particular sets his understand apart from everyone else. That is his attempts at getting Newt and Tina together. Jacob can see they’re perfect together and they should be together, so he tries to urge Newt to make an effort to show his affection for Tina. 

·      16:58 Jacob’s branding is on point. There is a distinct set of trademarks the Jacob has that make him the person we know and love. Dan Fogler delivers his lines in such a charming way that really shows the person behind Jacob. Jacob also has a fantastic musical motif associated with his person. He also has a great set of lines. From “Hey Mr. English Guy. I think you egg is hatching!” to “That’s me. I’m the pan.”, Jacob has awesome lines the put a great spin on the story.

·      25:42 Jacob can handle magic. That is a quality that a muggle like him could dearly use. Though he may have not been so happy about it in the beginning, he developed a tolerance for spells flying left and right. The story would be very different if he was terrified of just the simplest spell.
