Later that morning, Grindelwald explained the situation to his felonious followers at another malevolent meeting in that conference room from the first chapter. You might think getting to use this set again saved us money, but actually, we tore it down after the last time we used it for some reason, so for this scene, we had to rebuild it from scratch at great expense.
"This is our chance to get Credence and Scamander back," Grindelwald finished, "but at the same time, we would be remiss to not take advantage of this opportunity to get a jump on finding the Toenail of Icklibõgg while Scamander is distracted. Therefore, we will be splitting into two teams."
"I call whichever team Jacob is on!" said Queenie at once.
"That Muggle is not our teammate!" Vinda snapped. "He's a prisoner in our dungeons!"
"Oh, that reminds me," said Queenie. "I've been meaning to ask for Jacob's place of imprisonment to be changed to my bedroom."
"I will go after Scamander myself," Grindelwald explained, "and I'll bring along Tina Goldstein to use as bait. Scamander would do almost anything to save his girlfriend!"
"But he says she's not his girlfriend," Vinda pointed out.
Grindelwald gave her a look. "C'mon, it's just so obvious!" he said.
Yes, dear readers, it turns out that if evil Grindelwald didn't evilly want Newt dead, he would totally be a Newtina shipper. This is canon now.
