The Rumour: We know that Claudia Kim is playing an unnamed Maledictus, a woman suffering from a blood curse which causes her to transform into a beast.

Moreover, the circus where she performs features an attraction referred to as The Enchanting Snake Girl, so fans have made the mild leap that Kim's character in fact transforms into Nagini, the vicious snake that Voldemort eventually makes into one of his Horcruxes.

How Likely Is It?: On one hand, this sounds like a giddy fan service theory given way too much oxygen, but on the other, considering how eagerly a lot of fans would lap it up, it's also pretty easy to believe it.

Nagini really doesn't need an origin story, especially one which demystifies her beginnings so blatantly, which is probably exactly why it'll turn out to be true. Hollywood loves doing this, and can J.K. Rowling really resist at this point?
