Newt Scamander

However The Sphinx's whole shtick is that it speaks in riddles, and it, it was actually hired out.

You can look this up in, um, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, not the movie, but the, you know, in-world book that Newt Scamander wrote.

Uh, but the Sphinxes are often hired out to guard treasure, and the way that they guard it is they ask you a riddle, and if you're able to answer it, then they'll let you pass.

But if you can't answer it, they attack you, and it doesn't typically go well for the people they attack.

It defines them by unwavering integrity and doing what's right without needing the glory.

And, and it highlights characters like Newt Scamander and Cedric Diggory.

The, the psychology here revolves around the concept of the constant.

The constant.

Well, consider the psychology of it.

If a fan spent years watching Eddie Redmayne portray Newt Scamander in a visual medium-

Right, the movies

... hearing his actual recognizable voice reading the textbook that his character theoretically authored within the universe-

Your loyalty never wavers.

It cites characters like Cedric Diggory and Newt Scamander.

It champions the unsung heroics of daily endurance and basic human decency.

And finally, Ravenclaw, blue and bronze, the eagle.

... that to me is, is, is the greatest.

Um, and then we have, of course, have an adventure down there where Newt does-

Yeah

... his thing with, with the, the crazy bird.

But there is a, an underground pool.

Now, we argued about this, and of course, John, you were right.

I thought that that pool was within the suitcase, but it's not, because, um, uh, Newt bids farewell to his assistant and picks up his, his suitcase while he's next to the pool.

So the pool must be part of his house apartment but where- wherever he's living, and it is downstairs, so it is an underground subterranean pool.

Nobody cares.

There wasn't a book series to make you care about Newt Scamander.

They were like, we need to.

And by number three, it was like they didn't know what to do.

Oh, yeah

... um, I also wanted to mention Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts.

You know, like, he's just a zookeeper.

For real, nigga.

Like, genuinely.

Right.

If Steve Irwin was a wizard, he would've been Newt Scamander.

So, like-

So Silver is Mark Scott from Severance and Mash of Dimitchko and Nine Perfect Strangers.

Indigo is Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Also Dana Scully from The X-Files.

Okay.

Another kind of on-the-nose naming there with Worm.

But the book is obviously authored by one Newt Scamander.

Now, we did mention that this book is supposed to be an in-world textbook owned by one Harry Potter.

So, being a school book, it comes with a lot of doodles, drawings, commentary by those who own it.

Yeah, that would be a good one.

But yeah, him calling Ron Weasley just doesn't sit right with me, but whatever.

So let's move on to the actual author, which now has gotten a lot more fame and notoriety.

The author of this book is one Newton, or Newt, Artemis Fido Scamander, which there's a doodle above the name saying, nice name.
