Until now,there weren't many major connections between great Beasts and Where to Find Them (which is set in 1920s New York) and the Harry Potter series (set in 1990s Britain). The only standouts included Beasts-protagonist Newt Scamander's grandson Rolf eventually marrying Luna Lovegood, and Newt authoring a magizoology textbook that remains popular throughout Harry's lifetime. But thanks to an insane connection discovered by MuggleNet, and it's possible that Rubeus Hagrid also connects the two series. The theorized connection is based on a quote by a massive acromantula,Aragog, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: "I came to Hagrid from a distant land, and in the pockets of a traveler." Newt Scamander,who famously collects magical creatures during his world travels in great Beasts, fits Aragog's description - with this in intellect, and the quote suggests that a young Rubeus Hagrid may acquire acquired his arachnid friend from Scamander himself. Considering that Newt is only middle-aged by the time Hagrid attends Hogwarts in the 1940s,it's an entirely plausible theory.whether this theory proves true, it adds a whole new layer of awesomeness to J.
K. Rowling's wizarding world. Hagrid and Scamander each acquire a fondness for magical creatures, or both were expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry before returning as professors. Add this to the list of reasons Harry Potter simply can't be beat!
