Maiden Name

The Wizard's Challenge on the Scholastic Site calls a character "Porpentina Filibuster". As the site is canon, should Filibuster be moved to "Porpentina Filibuster" or is "Filibuster" Porpentina Scamander's maiden name? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 17:56, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

I'd err on the side of caution and answer no. It might be just a wizarding name and a surname they decided to jumble up together to produce a possible misleading answer that had a ring to it. There's also a question that features the wrong answers "Hedda the One-eyed Crone", "Boric the Beheaded", "Cletus the Overly Clever", characters that feature nowhere in canon -- "Porpentina Filibuster" might be another such case. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 19:17, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

In Fantastic Beasts film

J. K. Rowling's recent tweets appear to be confirming the rumours that Porpentina will be appearing in the Fantastic Beasts film, though she admittedly never directly says this. Should we assume this as confirmation, or err on the side of caution and wait for a direct statement? -- 1337star ^{(Drop me a line!)} 21:20, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

I see no harm in including the possibility in a BTS note, as long as it's properly referenced. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 22:39, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

Blood status

Just wondering, is there any evidence that Porpentina and her sister Queenie are witches? They could have been muggles or squibs. Muggle spouses and parents are allowed to know about the wizarding world.--Rodolphus (talk) 10:46, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Though this information was not available when you asked this, I'm just noting for the record that an official press release calls Tina a witch. -- 1337star ^{(Drop me a line!)} 19:50, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

Page move

Just wondering, does canon ever refer to her specificaally as "Porpentima Scamander"? I thonk FB called her "Newt's wife Porpentina, " with no mention of her surname.

As it is policy to use the name that is most commonly used, I suggest to move this article to "Porpentina Golstein", Perhaps they will marry in the second or third film, then we could move it back.--Rodolphus (talk) 17:49, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. -- Saxon 21:37, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

Can an Admin move it, then?--Rodolphus (talk) 17:41, January 23, 2016 (UTC)

Bumping.

School

Should we assume that Tina and Queenie attended Ilvermorny? JKR has saud Newt meets peopke from this school.--Rodolphus (talk) 15:53, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

Muggleborn/Squib

Hey people! I'm a bit new at wikia and my english is surely not that good to write articles, but i asking myself if i maybe got an revolutionary thought i was thinking of... On the pottermore article about the behind the scenes of FBaWtFT, the following quote is made: " Alison Sudol sometimes forgets she’s a ‘No-Maj’ " Since Alison Sudol played Queenie, the sister of Porpetina, shouldn't it be a hint of Rowling to let us known that Porpentina is, acutally a Muggleborn? Or maybe is Queenie a Squib? All these things made my mind goes crazy, so i hope sombody can awnser this c:

"Alison Sudol forgets she's a No-Maj." Alison Sudol, as in the actress, not Queenie the character. We know Queenie is a Legilimens, and have seen her bearing a wand in the few Behind the scenes images we have access to (and using said wand; though the special effects haven't been added yet). So, we definitely know she's not a Squib, and I can't see the argument to say she's a Muggleborn. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 17:00, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
