NOTE: Since this video was made back in 2017, author J.K. Rowling has turned into a transphobic bigot. Don't be like her. Support trans people! That's what Newt would do :)

Newt Scamander, protagonist of the Harry Potter spinoff, is an unconventional male hero. He performs a refreshingly atypical form of masculinity, especially for the lead in a fantasy adventure story.
