Why and how Leta had ended up engaged to Newt's brother Theseus Scamander ( Callum Turner) was even more of a mystery.
But it's not clear whether they were ever actually in a relationship or just shared a close friendship at Hogwarts. Leta had clearly fallen in love with Newt as a girl and was still in love with him. Surely the fact that he lugged her picture around with him meant that he still carried a torch for her?īut during the Crimes of Grindelwald, it became increasingly apparent that if anything, the opposite was true. PicturesĪfter watching the first Fantastic Beasts film I got the sense that whatever had happened between Newt Scamander and Leta Lestrange had left Newt heartbroken. Zoë Kravitz gave a glistening performance.
