8 Recent Movie Characters That Just Disappeared

Outside of the likes of the Dumbledores, Newt Scamander's name on the Marauders Map, and a canon-breaking McGonagall namedrop that made no sense, there aren't too many characters that appear in both the Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter franchises.

One such character is Nagini, and because of this, audiences already knew what her ultimate fate would be. Several decades down the line, the Maledictus would have permanently transformed into a snake, be one of Voldemort's most trusted allies and a Horcrux no less, and would be sliced in half by Neville Longbottom.

Even with this knowledge, there were some twists and turns during Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Firstly, the fact that Nagini appeared as a human woman was mind-blowing, but by the end of the movie she had actually aligned herself with Newt and the other heroes.

With a potentially compelling story between here and where she would ultimately end up, she was completely left out of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. No explanation for her absence, she just simply disappeared from the narrative altogether. She may return further down the line, if the movie franchise even survives that long, but even if she does, there will have to be a big explanation as to where she was in the threequel.
