The strals, like the animals that pulled the carriage in Hogwarts, were used to transport Grindelwald. At the beginning of The Crimes of Grindelwald, government officials are trying to transport Grindelwald from New York to Europe. Probably because the transcontinental Phantom Transfiguration was so dangerous, they chose to transport him with the Night's Horse. One of these pterodactys first appeared in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Harry first saw it: because only anyone who had witnessed death could see it. Every year Hogwarts hires a group of loyal "Night Horses" to pull carriages to the castle gates when the students arrive.

Lupin and Dumbledore had the same teaching plan: Dumbledore was a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher before becoming Headmaster of Hogwarts. In a flashback, we see him teaching a class of young students—including Newt and Rita—how to fight off a Bogart (a shapeshifter that will turn into something you fear most).

The genealogy of the Lestrange family is strikingly similar to that of the Black family. In The Crimes of Grindelwald, many of the characters search for the magical lestrange family tree that belongs to Rita's father. When a member of the family dies, the branch of the hair where the person is located withers. But that's male. Female family members are represented only by flowers. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black shows Harry the magic genealogy at 12 Grimaud Place.

Members of the McLagan family have been studying at Hogwarts for decades. In one scene, we see Dumbledore teaching a student how to fight the Dark Arts. When the class was interrupted by officials from the Ministry of Magic, the student was very bold enough to confront the person in charge. Dumbledore asked the student, named "McLaggen," to leave. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Cormac Mclaggen is an arrogant, nasty student who tries to curry favor with Hermione and wants to replace Ron on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Fans of the book should know that the McLaggen family is a "big family of the Ministry of Magic" — which may explain why Cormac's ancestors were so bold when talking to Ministry officials.
