The question posed by the Firenze/Newt subject line got me thinking--how to define bestiality in the magical world? I remember the original FBAWTFT book had an entire section about how one defines "beasts", but is that the only criteria for something being considered bestiality? Is having sex with a non-human being that isn't classified as a beast still bestiality? Is having sex with a transformed werewolf (don't know why you'd want to do that but still) bestiality? What about an animagus? The possibilities are endless.
So! I'd like to see something where Newt somehow gets involved in a conversation in which other wizards are trying to define the exact parameters of magical bestiality, and gets really into it and enthusiastic about the debate. Maybe the topic comes up in conversation as a joke or a thought exercise, and Newt takes it to be an honest discussion and is entirely sincere about it. Maybe there's a piece of his book that was edited out because he addressed the question with inappropriate frankness and thoroughness.
