Enjoy!Summary: Jacob Kowalski is the supposed muggle baker from New York. He lives alone, and works in the Caning Factory. But I think that there is something special about Jacob no-one knew about. I think Jacob Kowalski is a squib. I think that because Jacob sees thing a normal muggle can't. The most prominent is Hogwarts. In the final scenes of The Crimes of Grindelwald Jacob and his friends arrive at Hogwarts. But does Jacob see a run down house instead of a castle? No! We can see Jacob looking up and down at the castle in front of him. It is clearly stated in the fifth book of Harry Potter that only a witch, wizard, or squib could see the castle. But Jacob could see it fine. If he is defiantly not a wizard, what other options could there be? Jacob can also see the obscurus. In the screen play, it is said that an obscurus is invisible to the muggle eye. but Jacob can see the obscurus in Newt's case and Credence just fine. Sometimes, a coincidence just isn't in the cards.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
