When the Harry Potter prequel series kicked off in 2016, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's lead characters Newt (Eddie Redmayne), Tina (Katherine Waterston), Queenie (Alison Sudol), and Jacob (Dan Fogler) seemed primed to be our new Harry, Ron, and Hermione. 

That changed, however, when its follow-up, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald introduced Jude Law as a young Dumbledore, and the franchise morphed into something that was centered more on a brewing Wizarding World war than it was animal-related adventures. As other characters were added to the ensemble, and became more integral to the story, that initial quartet took a bit of a backseat.

Over the last few months, fans have taken to Twitter to voice their disappointment over the lack of Waterston's Tina in the promotional material for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, in particular. She has not appeared in any of the UK or US trailers, and wasn't one of the 18 character posters that were released prior to the film's release. She was so absent, in fact, that many assumed she was not in the movie at all. Well, she is, but it's not a lot.

For most of the film, Tina appears only as a moving photograph inside the lid of Newt's case, though she's referenced a fair bit. Early on, Newt's brother Theseus (Callum Turner) clunkily asks why Tina isn't helping them take down Grindelwald. In response, Newt explains that she's a little tied up at the moment after being promoted to Head Auror at MACUSA, the US equivalent of the Ministry of Magic.

An Auror's job is to catch dark wizards, so it's hard to imagine something being more pressing to Tina than seeing Grindelwald brought to justice – not to
