Fantastic Beasts: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

7. Picket

Who would have thought that a glorified stick insect would rank so highly?

Picket is a Bowtruckle (what Hagrid told Harry he was "no bigger than" when he dropped him at Privet Drive, which is clearly inaccurate), with attachment and abandonment issues, a cute little personlity and instant selling appeal.

He's a useful figure - helping Scamander escape the execution chamber (though we only find out the creatures are famed for picking locks AFTER the escape weirdly), and then going in a delightful little huff when Newt pretends to agree to swap him for information from Gnarlack. If there are many toys released in the wake of any Fantastic Beasts films, expect him to rank highly on the sales charts.
