Many people present wanted to know the answer to Voldemort's question, but Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein were not among them.
Both had lived through the "Wizarding World War." Faced with the recent string of changes, they immediately sensed that something was wrong, contacted Dumbledore, and ultimately joined the battle to defend Hogwarts.
The instant the flames rose, they had guessed from their brilliant blue color that the person casting the spell was very likely Gellert Grindelwald.

What gave them an even greater headache was the level of magic Gellert Grindelwald had displayed.
They had not expected that, after being imprisoned in Nurmengard for so long, Gellert Grindelwald's magical abilities had not declined in the slightest. Instead, they had become even more unfathomable.

Newt had especially mentioned the flames Gellert Grindelwald ignited there, and it
