Nagini is later placed inside the corpse of Bathilda Bagshot, which enables a surprise assault on Harry when he visits Godric's Hollow. Nagini is slain by Neville Longbottom during the Battle of Hogwarts.[82] The prequel film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald reveals that Nagini was once a cursed woman who eventually transformed into a snake. The human Nagini is portrayed by Claudia Kim in the film.[83]
