Many embraced it, especially those who were lucky enough to witness the live performance. Others felt somewhat alienated by both the new script format, retconning of the previous canon, and what many considered betrayals of characterization.
No matter where audiences stand on the play, there is no denying that it offered additional Potter material to chew on, including an alternate future for Nagini. Some way or another, this causes the entire course of the wizarding world to change.
Cedric becomes a Death Eater, and kills Neville, thus saving Nagini from death. In this alternate future, Nagini survives and continues serving her master, the now living Voldemort. More on this later, but Nagini has anatomical powers that do not seem natural whatsoever. Looking past the fact that she is a Maledictus, a Horcrux, and a psychic vessel for the dark lord, her venom appears to be of great importance.
In service to his master, Wormtail must milk Nagini for her venom as it sustains Voldemort's withering life force. Now, venom is not traditionally the healthiest nutritional substitute. As mentioned in the books, when Nagini bites Arthur Weasley, her venom causes his wounds to bleed profusely and take longer to heal. Somehow her toxin kept a decaying Voldemort healthy in the same way Unicorn Blood did. Perhaps it speaks more to how far gone Voldemort was, but it also could show that Nagini's snake form held more than just traditional poison.
The ability to speak to snakes in their own language, Parseltongue, is a gift shared by few in the wizarding world.
Stigmatized thanks in part to dark wizards, it is an ability that most shun. Harry is the only decent person in the series to have this power, as the rest of the Parselmouths are believed to be evil. Nagini though, previous to her final transformation, could speak to snakes in the same way. Since the reveal in Fantastic Beasts , audiences now know that Nagini was once a human.
As a Maledictus, she could turn in and out of her snake form similar to an Animagus. Here being a Maledictus gave her the same ability as other Parselmouths. Like Voldemort and Harry, Nagini in her human body could speak to other snakes. This ability is sure to play a significant role in the future of the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

I am guessing some sort of viper or python but I do not think it is ever specified. If you can find, link to, and source that interview, I'd be glad reconsider.
I always assumed that Nagini, like Crookshanks, was a magical incarnation of your average animal. While Crookshanks appears to be just an average cat, JKR makes it clear that he is not and I assumed Nagini was the same way. I have absolutely no basis for this other than pure conjecture. So, I did some looking around and there are some species of snakes who are poisonous that are also known to sometimes constrict. Lachesis muta muta is a species of pit viper found in Central America that has been known to grow up to 12 feet long, but I have only found one reference for this particular species constricting its prey.
However, this particular genus is nocturnal and doesn't interact with humans very frequently so it could be that it hasn't been observed constricting by very many people. I know you don't like the HP wiki, but they say "There is no known species of venomous snake matching Nagini's description," and I'm inclined to agree.

Nagini was killed by Neville Longbottom with Godric Gryffindor's Sword in and was the last Horcrux to be destroyed after Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem.
Originally, Nagini was a female human Maledictus , with the ability to transform into a snake. By , she was a featured attraction in a wizarding circus owned by Skender who claimed to have found her in the 'jungles of Indonesia. In September , Nagini and Credence decided to escape from the Circus Arcanus and discover his real identity. After that, she and Credence went to 18 Rue Philippe Lorand to find who they hoped would be his biological family.
They instead found Irma Dugard , a half-elf , who fondly explained some details of the alleged baby and parents. As the half-elf was about to divulge a key piece of the story, Nagini was suddenly trapped by Grimmson in a wall while he murdered Irma. Grimmson disapparated before Credence's Obscurus could kill him, Nagini tried but failed to escape her locked position inside of the wall until after the event concluded.
Later, on the rooftop of the house near the Eiffel Tower , Nagini and Credence met Gellert Grindelwald who was calling his supporters. He gave them a map of Pere Lachaise cemetery. Yusuf, thinking that Credence was really Corvus Lestrange , tried to kill him.
Nagini tried to save the Obscurial, but Kama said that he will kill her too if she did not get out of the way. When the door to the next chamber opened Nagini and others joined Grindelwald's rally.
When the fight began, Nagini tried to convince Credence to stay with her. However, he did not listen and decided to join the infamous Dark Wizard , to learn his true identity. Devastated Nagini also witnessed Leta's death and was just barely Apparated to safety by Yusuf. Eventually, Nagini's blood curse permanently turned her into a snake. It is worth noting that she knew him when he killed Bertha Jorkins in Albania. Voldemort used Nagini to help him regain strength and a basic physical form after living in a weak, spectral state, following his attempt to kill an infant Harry Potter , during which he was struck by his rebounding Killing Curse.
He had the servant who returned to him, Peter Pettigrew , milk her venom , [5] and with it, create a potion that sustained him with a temporary body until he could regain his true form. His habit of keeping her unusually close to him was what led Albus Dumbledore to suspect that she had become a Horcrux for quite some time.
In the summer of , Nagini, along with Voldemort and Pettigrew, sought shelter in the abandoned Riddle House until they could instigate the plan to capture Harry Potter. Nagini alerted Voldemort to the presence of Frank Bryce , an old Muggle gardener who had worked for the late Riddle family and had overheard a discussion between Pettigrew and Voldemort; soon after, Nagini slithered past Bryce and alerted Voldemort, and the Dark Lord murdered the Muggle man.
She probably then ate the dead man's corpse. However, Crouch was intercepted and killed by his own son , thus the Dark Lord apologised to Nagini that she would not be able to dine on Pettigrew. Upon Voldemort's rebirth via the capture of Harry, Nagini was slithering around the Little Hangleton graveyard that the resurrection ceremony took place, [13] and was promised that she could feed on the boy's corpse after her master had killed him. After she had infiltrated the Department of Mysteries , Nagini encountered the Order of the Phoenix member, Arthur Weasley , who was sent to guard the very same prophecy.
Nagini, unable to resist, and who had attracted Arthur's attention already, attacked him. The attack was witnessed by Harry Potter in a dream, in which he saw the attack through Nagini's eyes. He survived the attack but was required to take a Blood-Replenishing Potion at regular intervals. At the suggestion of Trainee Healer , Augustus Pye , Arthur tried stitches , a Muggle replacement, of which his wife, Molly , disapproved.
Nagini's venom seemed to delay blood clotting and even dissolved the stitches, which caused the wounds to bleed profusely when the bandages were removed. Ultimately, an antidote to the poison was found and he was cured. This was the first indication of Nagini and Voldemort's deeper connection, having the ability to share thoughts and connect with Harry. Nagini slithering on the table in Malfoy Manor, about to devour Charity Burbage. In , Nagini was present at the meeting at Malfoy Manor.
When the Death Eaters were jeering at Charity Burbage and the Malfoy family's humiliation, because of a disgraceful marriage in the family, the great snake got agitated, disliked the noise, opened her mouth wide, and hissed angrily, but to deaf ears.
Voldemort, after stroking the angry snake, called for silence. The two chose further torture, as both survived for the next battle. When Harry and Hermione Granger arrived there, she lured them into the late witch's home, signalled Voldemort due to the special connection that the two of them shared Voldemort seemed to have an excessive amount of control over the snake even for a Parselmouth , and then launched a surprise assault on Harry, while the latter was investigating a pile of dirty laundry on a dresser.
