Tina & Credence

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:

Katherine Waterston: Credence and Tina have a past. He doesn't remember it maybe, but she has been concerned about him for a while before the film starts.

- Mugglenet

Katherine Waterston: I found it really touching that the only thing that will tempt her to break her away from the position she has is if someone is in trouble. But by saving a No-Maj, she exposed herself as a magical person.

- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: Movie-Making News: FANTASTIC BEASTS 2

Katherine Waterston: She broke the rules in order to protect someone who was in trouble. Though she's really proud to be a part of MACUSA and dreams of succeeding there, when push comes to shove she will abandon the rule book. I found it really touching. She loves the rules, but if someone's in trouble, she can't help herself.

Inside the Obscurus, Credence reaches out to Tina, the only person who has ever done him an uncomplicated kindness. He looks at Tina, desperate and afraid. He has dreamed of her ever since she saved him from a beating.

Crimes of Grindelwald:

Katherine Waterston: Tina and Queenie were orphaned very young, Tina, as the elder of the two, felt a great responsibility to take care of her sister. Over the years, that feeling to protect helpless children extended beyond just Queenie. She values her position at work and respects the law, but a child in need－that's her Achilles Heel. If forced to choose, she'll break the rule to help a child, as she did for Credence when Mary Lou Barebone was beating him. Near the end of the first film, she gave Credence her word that she and Newt would protect him, and she is not one to go back on her word.

- Crimes of Grindelwald Production Notes

Katherine Waterston: I think you start to see a bit in the first film that a child in trouble is her Achilles' Heel, particularly an orphan child. As long as he is unsafe in the world, she has that concern to save him, and I think that stems from her own childhood. She and Queenie were orphaned young, and she knows what it's like to be a bit lost in the world, and she pulled herself up by her bootstraps, and she is a very hardy woman. I think she is just going to be forever distracted by Credence and his need until that is sorted.

- Crimes of Grindelwald World Premiere in Paris

Katherine Waterston: Her Achilles heel — the thing that kind of makes her throw the rulebook out the window — is a person, particularly a young person, in trouble, in need. There’s something almost of an obsession I think she has with Credence. She feels very responsible for him.

- Buzzfeed

Katherine Waterston: We find Tina in Paris along many other members of the original cast and some new characters. She is looking for Credence. There are people after him for different reasons, and obviously Tina cares about him a great deal and is trying to get to him first. 

- MTV News

Tina Goldstein has been reinstated as an Auror at MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA), but, while she remains dedicated to the job of enforcing magical law, she has not lost her independent streak. Leaving New York, Tina has traveled to Paris on a cryptic—and wholly unauthorized—investigation of her own. She knows Credence survived MACUSA’s attempt to destroy him in New York, but she is also aware that, as an Obscurial, he is considered a threat to the wizarding community and is in grave danger. Employing all of her skills, Tina is finally closing in on Credence, but her perilous pursuit has also put her on a collision course with other powerful forces hunting him.

- Crimes of Grindelwald Official Character Description

Katherine Waterston: Tina isn't confident that the ministry would approve of her desire to protect and save Credence. They are seeking him for a different reason, and so she's kind of doing this investigation on the sly.

- Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Makers, Mysteries and Magic: Chapter 5

Katherine Waterston: She's continuing a sort of rebellious pursuit in trying to protect Credence.

- Bowu Magazine

Katherine Waterston: It's a little unclear whether MACUSA knows her whereabouts. Tina isn’t confident they would approve of her desire to save Credence. They are seeking him for a different reason.

- Lights, Camera, Magic!: The Making of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Ezra Miller: Yeah, I mean certainly we’ve seen sort of only fragments of a story in which Tina did care for Credence, and that was a rare and noted instance in Credence’s story. But again, when you really think about it, what does Credence actually know about that human being, where she comes from? I mean, the last interaction was a deeply confusing one where there were a lot of things going on on the subway tracks, you know? So yeah, I think that’s one of the connections.

ANGLE ON TINA, edging through the crowd, searching.

She spots QUEENIE and, at a short distance, CREDENCE. Whom should she approach first? She chooses CREDENCE, but as she moves, is blocked by an ACOLYTE. They make eye contact. TINA knows she is wildly outnumbered. Under the ACOLYTE'S gaze, she sinks onto a bench.

“He’s an oddball,” says Eddie Redmayne. “He’s got his own agenda. He’s got his own interests and he lives his own life. In many ways he’s not a people pleaser. He is a man who feels more at home with creatures than he does with human beings.”

Newt's Expulsion

Graves examines the file on his desk.

GRAVES: You were thrown out of Hogwarts for endangering human life—

NEWT: That was an accident!

GRAVES: —with a beast. Yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion. Now, what makes Albus Dumbledore so fond of you?

- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay

J.K. Rowling: Dumbledore was a young teacher at the time Newt was expelled. He wasn't able to revoke expulsions.

- Twitter

J.K. Rowling: He took the blame for something someone else did. That's significant, but I can't tell you why. How did he keep his wand? That's also significant. I can't tell you why.

Porpentina Goldstein

Porpentina Goldstein, or Tina for short, works in the Wand Permit Office of the Magical Congress of the United States of America having been recently been demoted from her position as an Auror in the Investigations Department for an infraction that resulted in her exposure as a witch to No-Majs.

"She broke the rules in order to protect someone who was introuble," explains actress Katherine Waterston of Tina who also has to wear an Admonitor bracelet as a result of her recklessness. "Though she's really proud to be a part of MACUSA and dreams of succeeding there, when push comes to shove she will abandon the rule book. I found it really touching. She loves the rules, but if someone's in trouble, she can't help herself.

"She is a bit of a loner, and is underappreciated," says producer David Heyman. "She's really good at her job but has been demoted. Ultimately though, her instincts are proved right."

When Tina first meets Newt in Fantastic Beasts and Where to FindThem, their interaction couldn't be any less romantic: she arrests him in an alleyway outside Steen National Bank and brings him to MACUSA for processing."My general sense of who he is at the beginning is he's dangerous and untrustworthy, and probably kind of cute," laughs Katherine Waterston. "Part of what I love about Tina is she's flawed and often doesn't achieve what she is pursuing or things don't work out for her [like] she hopes. But she is good at her job and the moment she sees Newt she knows something is going on, even though she doesn't exactly know what. And that, to me, was the first clue that she's not a total disaster. She has good instincts. She knows she has a lot of potential, but can't seem to convince people of it.

"I think Newt sees that potential in her," she continues. "That's a lot of what falling in love is, you feel someone else recognizing what you have to offer. As their relationship evolves, she sees what's motivating him, and then you start to notice they are both very passionate about what they do, they are both a little stunted, not very good at expressing themselves, and you start to see the reasons why they have become that way. He's very isolated in his work. She is taking care of her sister because they lost their parents when they were young. They're two people who really haven't had too much time to have a good time. In contrast to Jacob and Queenie who are much freer."

Tina lives with her sister, Queenie (actress-Alison Sudol), who also works at MACUSA, in a brownstone in Midtown Manhattan. Being orphans, they look out for each other as best they can. "They parent teach other in different ways - they are very different women," says Waterston. "I'm a bit more the father and she's bit more the mother. She's got a very generous maternal quality. She cooks beautiful, elaborate meals. And maybe in their loneliness they've fallen into that dynamic [of] where I'm trying to be the breadwinner and she's doing the ironing. On some level it's a throwback relationship. On another level they're like two kids in their bunk bed."

"Katherine plays the darker side of the sisters," says Fogler, whose character Jacob falls for Queenie. "She's more cerebral, but also has this great vulnerability. Katherine's a fantastic actress and what she brings to the role is a very specific sensitivity, but also strength. Each one of them is trying to find themselves. They're all fish out of water; quirky misfits who form this little family. And each one has something that is beneficial to save the day."

"You have these two sisters who have raised each other and so we have a very deep bond," says Sudol. "But it's an isolated and lonely life, and these two men come into our world and they're very, very different and exciting and intriguing and our lives are suddenly transformed within a night, being on the run and part of a gang. I think that's something we all want to do. We all want to be part of a gang."

Like Fogler with Jacob, Waterston found much to connect to with hercharacter. "I loved [Tina's] duality when I first read the script. She's a courageous coward. I found that easy to relate to. Most people are not one thing. We all have lots of different, often contradictory qualities bubbling to the surface all the time. We all [have] these different levels of fear and courage, confidence and desire."

"Katherine is very much like Eddie," notes director David Yates. "She can be deeply intense in a good way, and she can be very, very funny. She's got a great physical ability at comedy, which is quite rare. It's a really interesting range. I loved that combination."

"The thing I like about Tina is the complexity," concludes Waterston. "She's inconsistent, she has strengths and weakness and though she's sometimes quite courageous, she can also be intimidated by certain dynamics and situations. She's very soulful, she has a lot of heart, and a bit of ambition in the best sense of the word. She has a deep belief in herself but hasn't quite figured out how to [utilize it]."

"In the Harry Potter world, the magical and the non-magical live in harmony," says Katherine Waterston. "They're aware of each other and magic is much more accepted. In 1920s Amercia you find a very divided society. The magical community is very concerned and fearful of being exposed and there are hints throughout of Salem. And although it's not explored in great detail, you see the concern and fear of being exposed, and that is what gets Tina in trouble. By saving someone she exposes herself as a witch."

Tina's Costume

Tina's outfit, says Atwood, were determined by both her personality and the fact that she's been demoted from her position of an Auror at MACUSA and is trying to work her way back into favor with her bosses. "Tina is one of those quirky girls, a bit gawky, not quite there in her body. I made the decision to put her in trousers from the start, which was not so common in the period but did exist. She's hiding a lot, doing her own private eye thing, so I gave her a trench coat with a really big collar she could tuck her head behind."

Goldstein's Apartment

The home Tina shares with her sister Queenie is a two-room apartmentspread over one floor of a brownstone. Originally written to be their mother's apartment, the styling is "more the taste of an older generation in its furnishing," Craig explains.

"It is very Victorian, the weight of everything, the weight of architectural detail. The fireplaces are huge- big, big chunks of marble- in the style of those brownstones. We took that, we embraced it, and exaggerated it. That was the prominent feature: heavy architecture and dark, dark colors, and very Victorian in detail. It is principally two room with what is called apocket door, a sliding door in between the two. In our case, one was the living room and the back was a shared bedroom. The kitchen was one corner of the living space. It was a big house by definition but they had a very small part of it. They lived very modestly."
