Spellbound (magazine)

Spelldown was an American wizarding magazine that was in publication in 1927. The cover story for one issue included coverage of Newton Scamander marrying Leta Lestrange with Newt's brother Theseus Scamander at their side. The weddign was planned to take place on June 6, 1927. In fact, it was actually Theseus the one who was to marry Leta rather than Newt, who was to serve as godfather.

When Tina Goldstein saw Spelldown ' s newest cover, she believed that Newt loved LEta and started to date another magician. When Tina's sister Queenie Goldstein showed Newt the magazine, he corrected who was to marry who and then he explained the truth to Tina while infiltrating the French Ministry of Magic.

Unfortunately, the wedding never took place because during summer 1927, Leta ended up killed by dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald at her family's mausoleum at the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise of Paris, France.

Behind the scenes

 * Spelldown seems to be the American equivalent of The Quibbler, a British tabloid which publishes odd claims without sources or verification.
