Harry Potter

Queenie Goldstein is a fictional character in J.K. Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts" series, a prequel to the Harry Potter novels. She is a young, beautiful witch who works in the Wand Permit Office at the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) in the 1920s.

Born into an American wizarding family, Queenie is the younger sister of Tina Goldstein. She possesses a powerful gift of Legilimency, allowing her to read minds effortlessly, a talent she often uses, sometimes without permission. This ability makes her highly empathetic and sensitive to the emotions of others.

Queenie is characterized as kind, compassionate, and somewhat naive. She is drawn to Jacob Kowalski, a No-Maj (American term for Muggle), and their relationship faces considerable societal challenges due to the strict laws prohibiting relationships between witches/wizards and No-Majs.

Later in the series, Queenie makes a controversial decision to join Gellert Grindelwald's cause, believing he offers a future where witches and wizards can openly love whom they choose. This choice showcases the complexities of her character and the seductive nature of Grindelwald's ideology.
