Eddie revealing a deleted scene where Tina and Leta jointly save Newt and his case

This scene is significant on multiple levels, for it shows that

  • Tina understands how much the case means to Newt
  • Leta possesses great magical skills and truly cares for Newt
  • Two strong complex female characters work together to protect the male protagonist

Cutting this particular scene for the sake of time makes me question the director’s vision and whether he can do justice to the wonderful female characters so carefully created by J.K. Rowling.
