- "There are strange things going on all over the city. The people behind it are not like you and me."
- — Langdon Shaw[src]
Langdon Shaw was an American No-Maj who lived in the early 20th century. He was the younger son of newspaper magnate Henry Shaw Senior.[1][2]
While his older brother, the senator Henry Shaw Junior, was Shaw Sr.'s pride and joy, Langdon was viewed as something of a failure and disappointment.[2] This did not stop him from constantly trying to seek his father's approval.[2]
In 1926, Langdon told his father of his belief that "strange things [were] going on all over" New York and that the people behind these incidents were "not like [them]," certain that he was giving him the scoop of the century.[2] His father and brother both dismissed his claims out of hand.[2]
Behind the scenes
- The role of Langdon Shaw will be played by Ronan Raftery in the upcoming film adaptation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.[2]
- Initial reports gave this character's name as "Laurence".[3] His correct name was later released through Pottermore.[1][2]
