* This is one exclusively for the printed copy of the book: the notes and games written into the book make it clear that Harry's years at Hogwarts aren't exclusively him being in danger or having a hard time in his life; he has times where he can just be a normal kid with his friends. That's always nice to see.

* The expression on Newt's face as he watches the Thunderbird the first time we see it. He clearly [[FriendToAllLivingThings loves his creatures deeply, not just as a career but for their own sakes]]. Considering [[NotGoodWithPeople how awkward he is around people]], it's wonderful to see the bond he has with his creatures.

* The Demiguise babysitting the monster [[spoiler:Newt DIDN'T know escaped his suitcase. An Occamy who took up in the Macy's Attic.]]
* Never once Newt considers the Obscurials as monsters, thinking of them as people to help instead: he's obviously dismayed about the Sudanese girl he was unable to save, and when confronted with [[spoiler: Credence]] in his Obscurus form, he refuses to raise a hand against him and tries to calm him.
** In a small way, Newt asking [[spoiler:Credence]] if he can come over to him -- he's asking permission because he knows how badly he's been abused and how scared and untrusting he must be of people.

* Newt's response to Jacob when the latter asked why Newt still kept him around? [[spoiler:Because Newt likes Jacob and thought of him as a dear friend. And before Jacob goes to be obliviated, Newt tells him that he'll remember what Jacob did.]] Adding on to this is the reason why Newt brought him along in the first place: Newt (admittedly correctly) thinks American wizard laws are "backwards" on interactions with Muggles so he is trying to help him avoid being Obliviated and forgetting everything he saw.
* Before leaving New York, Newt visits [[spoiler:Jacob (who has now been obliviated) and gives him a case of Occamy eggshells -- made of pure silver! -- to use to get a loan from the bank to open up his bakery.

** Even better? We hear the ringing bell of the shop door ''closing'' as a person leaves, but we do ''not'' hear it opening again - meaning that Queenie has ''apparated'' into Jacob's shop. She's not just breaking the law by wanting to be with him, she's also ''openly, wantonly and fragrantly breaking it'' by ''using magic in front of what most be several dozen No-Majs.''

* The entire scene of Newt and Tina saying goodbye is this, but there’s a detail not noticed until ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald'' was released: the song that’s playing is “Salamander Eyes”, which may be their love theme.

** Special mention to the fact that she's a Legilimens. She reads minds, and not only does this not freak Jacob out, he thinks its really cool, and is enjoying having a one-sided conversation with her later, where she responds to his unspoken thoughts. He asks her to stop reading his mind for moment only so he can offer up a heartfelt compliment for the wonderful meal the girls shared with him. And when Jacob first finds out she reads minds, he has a minor OhCrap reaction, considering he first saw her in what, at the time the film is set, amounts to her underwear. Queenie tells him not to worry, "Lots of guys think what you was thinking first time they see me." Nice subversion of AMindIsATerribleThingToRead.

It's the 1920s. The Great Depression hasn't hit yet.


*** And just to take it UpToEleven? Given the time period, the fact that Jacob's bakery is flourishing in ''the middle of the Great Depression'' is both awesome and heartwarming.

** Newt describes him as "a wee-bit sensitive to strangers" in the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (Daydream VR). Yeah, given that he's been ''tied up and abused'', we can't say we blame him. Despite this, Frank ''let's Newt get close and stroke him'' and trusts him because he, like all of us, can see that Newt is a cinnamon bun who wouldn't harm a fly.
