Mr Goldstein was a wizard who lived in the early 20th century.[2] He was the father of Porpentina and Queenie Goldstein.[2]
Biography[]
Mr Goldstein, dancing with her wife and daugthers
Sometime in his daughters' childhood, the Goldstein family danced together while dressed up.[5][6]
He and his wife died of Dragon Pox when their daughters were young.[2] This left the girls to "raise each other," which lead them to forge a life-long bond.[2][7][8]
After being sentenced to death in 1926, Tina Goldstein had her happy memories extracted from her head by Bernadette, who then cast them into the death potion in the Death Cell.[9] To keep Tina sedated, the potion replayed the memories for her, which included "happy images" of her mother and father.[9][10]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ Presumably he was (at least) seventeen when Tina was born and Dragon Pox is said to be more fatal for the "young" and the "elderly" implying he was one or the other at the time. Given how he appears in Tina's memories, it is implied to be the former.

- ↑ Since Rolf Scamander kept Newt's family name, it can be presumed that he is the son of a son of Newt's. If he were the son of a daughter of Newt's, he would likely bear whichever his father's surname was, and not Scamander. However, Newt could have had a daughter who kept his family name.
