Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Paperback – 25 January 2018

Love reading this book, it's really interesting and informative. As a HarryPotter fan , I recommend to fans of the Harry Potter book series.

As Professor Dumbledore declared in the foreword that “no wizarding household is complete without a copy of this book.” So I wasted no time and got myself a copy at Flourish and Botts!My very own duplicate of Harry Potter’s copy and I enjoyed it a lot especially Professor Dumbledore’s foreword! You only have to read a part of his foreword to be convinced to read the book. But what I enjoyed even more were Ron’s, Harry’s and Hermione’s scribbling on random pages of the book. Just a few samples:“Harry loves Moaning Myrtle” (Bahaha!)”The 1965 Ban on Experimental Breeding has made the creation of new species illegal.” ---> “but no one’s told Hagrid.”I’m pretty sure it’s Ron who classified ACROMANTULA with 10 X’s. (Lol!)Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the result of many years research and discusses at some length the definition of the word 'beast', and indeed which creatures may be categorised as beasts.Also covered is the ongoing Muggle ignorance of magical creatures. Clause 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy is explained as reason for magical beasts being in hiding, and there is also information about how that is done. Disillusionment charms, memory charms and the Office of Misinformation all have a role to play.What then follows is an alphabetical list of fantastic beasts, all of which have been classified according to the Ministry of Magic as belonging to one of five categories:* Boring (Although Newt in the film would never describe creatures as boring which this book does, the character was fascinated by all creatures.)* Harmless and may be domesticated* A competent wizard should be able to cope with them* Dangerous and requires specialist wizard knowledge* Known wizard killer or impossible to train or domesticateThere's everything from Centaurs and Flobberworms, to Kneazles, Nifflers and Wampus Cats.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a book for every Harry Potter fan: read it from cover to cover, browse and learn more about the magical universe, and refer to it as you read the Harry Potter series, or watch the movies.

AMAZON SERVICE: Hardcover books are high priced and needs better packaging. That's one major issue. Otherwise all good.BOOK: JKR- she has always been magical. Great book by her. A Harry Potter fan must buy this for their collection. This edition has no scribbling inside but has beautiful illustrations. ❤️Win!

The movie is nothing like the book. But it is dead useful when you have a doubt about a creature in the wizarding world movies

I've seen many people complaining about this book and comparing it to the other Hogwarts library books. This book received the lowest rating out of them but I don't see why?This book is an whole encyclopedia about the fantastic beats which are written by J.K. Rowling but in the accent of Newt scammander as in the movies. This book is totally different from the movie and it doesn't has a story but fascinating and exciting things to explore more in the wizarding world including dragons, nundu and many others from the Harry Potter series itself!This book is the one I've received some far in 2022. The thing that makes it more exciting and interesting are the illustraitions. J.K. Rowling has done a perfection in creating these creatures.Overall: The best encyclopedia with The Fantastic Beasts

Firstly, let me say that the book was received on time. The book itself, I feel, is for the hard core fans of the Harry Potter franchise. You have to be a fanboy to love this book. It will look good on the book shelf. You seem to breeze through the book without adding anything from the experience. I finished it in an hour and so did my son. But tell you what, the kids MAY love it. Buy it, will look good in the collection.

Good for Harry Potter fans

I received my beautiful copy of this book today and gosh I am so in love with it because it has 6 new beasts from J K Rowling! I have read this book in its previous version and I thoroughly loved it, but this edition is gorgeous beyond my words! The illustrations inside are beautiful as well and if you have kids or like colouring, you may as well satiate that desire of your heart!I am a digger for hardcovers and I often open the jacket to admire the naked book and guess what, the book looks beautiful when naked as well! One more noteable thing is that JK Rowling, my favorite author in the planet, is donating it's proceeds to Comic Relief and Lumos. It is for that beautiful heart of hers that she is such a successful person today.So if you wanna become a wizard and no more stay a muggle, you need this copy on your shelves.
