Fantastic Beasts: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

Slightly edging out her sister, legilimens Queenie scores more points because she's given more of a developmental arc. She's also aided by the fact that she's genuinely funny, using her powers not only to reflect out other character's emotions (which is a very handy tool for directors to call on).

But it's her relationship with Kowalski that really elevates her - her wide-eyed, flirty exoticness is genuinely irresistible when seen through his eyes, and the way she is disarmed by his scruffy charm is enchanting.

It's a shame that some will say she's just another female character relegated to a romantic element, but nobody should be complaining when the romance is that compelling. And in truth she has a lot more to her bow than just being an object of his affection: she's resourceful, dependable and a very charming figure.
