“I know what that woman did to you... I know that you’ve suffered... you need to stop this now... Newt and I will protect you.”
―Tina's sympathy towards Credence Barebone
Porpentina Esther "Tina" Scamander (née Goldstein) (b. 19 August 1901) was a half-blood American witch. She attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into Thunderbird house. After graduating from IIvermorny, she became an Auror for the Magical Congress of the United States of America.
Tina was dismissed from her position as an Auror for magically assaulting the No-maj Mary Lou Barebone. She assaulted Mary Lou in front of witnesses as a response to her beating her adopted son, Credence Barebone. Goldstein was investigating the New Salem Philanthropic Society against the orders of her superiors. She was reinstated in 1926 after helping to arrest Gellert Grindelwald.
Tina later became the wife of famed magizoologist and author Newt Scamander. Sometime after retiring from the Department of Aurors, she moved to the United Kingdom with her husband. The couple had at least one child, presumably a son. They also had a grandson, Rolf Scamander, and two known great-grandsons, Lorcan and Lysander.
