Queenie Goldstein was an American witch. She was the younger sister of Porpentina Scamander neé Goldstein and the sister-in-law of Newt Scamander.

Queenie was born somewhere in the United States of America in 1902 or later. She had at least one sibling, an older sister, Porpentina. The sisters lost their mother and father when they were young. Afterwards, they were left to "raise each other," an experience that lead them to share a very deep bond into adulthood.

Both sisters attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They may have been of Jewish heritage.

Alison Loren Sudol (born December 23, 1984) is an American alternative singer-songwriter, pianist and actress. Her debut album, One Cell in the Sea, was released in 2007, followed in 2009 by Bomb in a Birdcage. Sudol's songs have charted in the United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, and France, among other countries, and as of October 2012, she has sold more than 650,000 albums. Her music has also been featured on numerous television shows and featured in several major motion pictures. Sudol's latest album, Pines, was released on October 9, 2012.

Her musical moniker A Fine Frenzy, is taken from the phrase "in a fine frenzy rolling" (i.e., rolling in the ecstasy of inspiration), in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V, Scene 1.

In 2015 Sudol was cast in the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first in a series of five Harry Potter spin-off films written by J.K. Rowling. Sudol plays 'Queenie', the attractive younger sister of 'Tina' (Katherine Waterston), alongside Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). The film is set in New York approximately seventy years before Harry Potter’s story starts. The film is based on the Hogwarts textbook of the same name and follows the adventures of its author, “magizoologist” Newt Scamander. The film is scheduled to release in November 2016.
