“Fantastic Beasts” News: Tina and Queenie’s Last Name!
Today, J.K. Rowling promised her Twitter followers some Fantastic Beasts news – with a certain condition:
Hmm… if @ScotlandTeam wins, I'll give you some #FantasticBeasts info, how's that? Tweet #AsOne to help! https://t.co/hSOYgp15Rv

Sadly, Scotland did not win (final score 22-28 Ireland), but Jo still gave us a little gift!
I feel I owe you a bit of #FantasticBeasts information after you all got behind @Scotlandteam, so let's see…

The last name of sisters Tina and Queenie:
Well, I think it's widely known that that characters of (Porpen)tina and Queenie are sisters, but not that their surname is Goldstein.

She even confirmed that they are distantly related to Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, member of Dumbledore’s Army, and (as previously confirmed on JKR’s Twitter) a Jewish student at Hogwarts. Could we see a similar revelation about wizards and religion in Fantastic Beasts through Tina and Queenie?
