A niffler made a cameo appearance in Harry Potter vs Luke Skywalker. It was portrayed by a Lego Minifigure.
Information on the cameo
The niffler was a magical beast with a long snout and a coat of black, fluffy fur. They were attracted to shiny things, which made them wonderful for locating treasure, but that also meant that they could wreak havoc if kept (or set loose) indoors. Nifflers in general are usually harmless.
Newt Scamander owned a niffler, which escaped twice from his suitcase during his visit to New York in 1926 and tried to rob both the Steen National Bank and a jewel shop of numerous valuables. In 1927, the same niffler produced four offspring each in a different colour.
Appearance in the rap battle
Newt Scamander can be seen holding his niffler in Diagon Alley.
