Queenie Goldstein



Queenie Goldstein was an American witch. She was the younger sister of Porpentina Goldstein and the sister-in-law of Newt Scamander.

Early life
Queenie was born somewhere in the United States of America in 1902 or later. She had at least one sibling, an older sister, Porpentina. The sisters lost their mother and father when they were young due to Dragon Pox. Afterwards, they were left to "raise each other," an experience that lead them to share a very deep bond into adulthood.

Both sisters attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They may have been of Jewish heritage.

Later life
Queenie landed a menial desk job in the Wand Permit Office at the Magical Congress of the United States of America sometime after leaving Ilvermorny. Porpentina worked as an Auror, but after she used magic in front of N.S.P.S. leader Mary Lou Barebone, she was demoted to a position in the same department as Queenie.

In 1926, Queenie was sharing a brownstone at 679 West 24th Street in New York City with her sister, when the pair were introduced to the soon-to-be famous British magizoologist and author Newt Scamander. Porpentina eventually married Newt and moved with him to the United Kingdom.

Personality and traits
Queenie was a free-spirited, kind-hearted woman, and was noted for her beauty, being described as a "bombshell". She was very empathic and skilled in the art of Legilimency which sometimes affected her relationship with others but deepened the one she shared with her sister. She was also considered very brave.
