2014 Oct 8th - Q26

Very recently, celebrity ✖ tweeted the following : "Cry, foe!  Run amok!  Fa awry!  My wand won’t tolerate this nonsense." Among many replies, a follower Emily Strong's was : "Newt Scamander only meant to stay in New York for a few hours..." 
✖'s reply to this was : "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!  People, we have a winner!" Solve for ✖ and provide funda.

[Highlight blank after arrow for the answer] 
=> ✖ is JK Rowling, and her initial tweet was an anagrammed puzzle for her fans. Emily Strong solved it - the sentence is supposedly the "the first sentence of a synopsis of Newt's story", where Newt (Scamander) is the protagonist for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, based on Rowling's story of the same name.
