Porpentina "Tina" Scamander (née Goldstein[6]) (fl. 1926-1991) was an American witch.[7] She was the wife of famed magizoologist and author Newt Scamander.[8]
Biography
Early life
Porpentina was born somewhere in the United States of America,[7] and, as such, may have studied magic at Ilvermorny. She had at least one sibling, a younger sister, Queenie.[9] The sisters apparently lost their mother and father at a young age, as they were described as having "raised each other," and consequently were very close.[10]
Porpentina's friends and family called her by the nickname "Tina."[1] She and her sister Queenie may have been Jewish.[11]
Career and marriage
She worked for the Magical Congress of the United States of America.[4][5] However, because she stood up for somebody of whom her superiors did not approve, she was demoted to a position well below her abilities.[4][5]
In 1926,[5] Porpentina met British magizoologist Newt Scamander in New York City, where he had come as part of his international expedition to discover new magical creatures.[7] She eventually married him and moved to the United Kingdom.[8] The couple had at least one child, who in turn gave them a grandson, Rolf.[12]
Later life
As of the late 20th century,[13] she lived with her husband in Dorset with their pet Kneazles: Hoppy, Milly, and Mauler.[8] Following her grandson's marriage to Luna Lovegood, Porpentina became the great-grandmother of twin boys, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander.[14]
Personality and traits
Porpentina apparently had a practical, level-headed personality, being described as "grounded."[15] However, she was also described as being "very soulful" and as having "a lot of heart, strengths, and courage."[10] She was naturally ambitious and had a desire to stand up for what was right.[4]

- ↑ Since Rolf Scamander kept Newt's family name, it can be presumed that he is the son of a son of Newt's (if he were the son of a daughter of Newt's, he would bear whichever his father's surname was, and not Scamander, unless he were illegitimate).

- ↑ The real-world book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them features a biography of Newt Scamander which states he retired in 1979. It also features an introduction by Albus Dumbledore, who, canonically, died in 1997. It can thus be concluded that the information about the Scamanders living in Dorset and owning three Kneazles was current within this timeframe.
