Newt Scamander
written by Anatoli Harvie
Newt Scamander is an unassuming naturalist whose mild demeanor and devotion to the entire gamut of magical creatures hides enough cleverness and strength to stand up to none other than Gellert Grindelwald himself. Newt’s career as a magizoologist began as a young man working for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He became the celebrated author of the book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, now considered to be the premier bestiary of the wizarding world. Scamander retired to Dorset after decades of research and exploration.

Newt Scamander leaves Hogwarts
Chapter 5
circa 1914
Newt Scamander leaves Hogwarts under a cloud, having been accused of endangering students. Albus Dumbledore, then a teacher at Hogwarts, argued against his expulsion (WFT). Soon after, Newt begins working for the Ministry of Magic (FB).
Timeline Notes
We don't know the actual year that Scamander was expelled, but it would have been before 1915.
Notes
One of the companion books published along with the release of the film states that Newt's close friend Leta Lestrange was responsible for the experiment which went wrong and endangered other students, and that Newt chose to take the blame for it.
