Description

As featured in the first year set texts reading list in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an extensive introduction to the magical beasts that exist in the magical, non-Muggle world. Some of the animals featured in the A-Z you will have already met in the existing Harry Potter books: for example Hippogriff, Flobberworm, Kappa - others you certainly won't: read on to find out exactly what a Chizpurfle is, or why one should always beware of the sinister Lethifold ...As Albus Dumbledore says in his introduction, this set text book by Newt Scamander has given the perfect grounding to many a Hogwarts student. It will be helpful to all Muggles out there too ...On reading the book you will also find that Harry, Ron and (in one instance) Hermione - couldn't resist grafittiing the book, and adding their own personal hand-written opinions.

  • A textbook taken from the world of Harry Potter, this book is filled with all the creatures Muggles think mythical, and even some we never dreamed existed. An awesome quick read for children who love the series. It was one of the only times I've been inclined to read a textbook.

  • I adore this book! The hand written notes by Harry, Ron, and Hermonie add a wonderfully real element. You truly feel as if you're flipping through one of Harry's school books. I reccomend this book to anyone who had enjoyed the Harry Potter series.

  • Truly fantastic.A wonderful compendium of the beings & beasts in the world of Harry Potter, and the difference between the two with very informative discriptions on each.

  • Recently re-read this book in an attempt to satisfy my constant HP hunger. Helped to an extent as I find it refreshing to read peripheral things about the Wizarding world that does not directly revolve around Harry.The "handwritten" notes by Harry, Ron and Hermione are cute but almost a little childish. I would love to have read even more about each "beast", but Jo has covered the basics nicely. I sincerely hope she writes more of the school books mentioned in the canon. I would LOVE to be the second person to read "Hogwarts A History" or "A History of Magic".
