"If you're a Harry Potter fan, you should definietly read this easy book. It was written by J.K. Rowling herself for charity.

Do you remember in the series that one of Harry Potter's schoolbooks is called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? This is it! Not only that, but this is specifically Harry's copy. So there are comical scribbles made by him and Ron throughout the book.

The book itself gives brief information on different magical animals. Many of them are creatures we know; like giant spiders, dragons, gnomes, werewolves, and basilisks. The book also gives a little history about the events leading up to the Ministry of Magic clearly defining what a 'beast' is, and what a 'being' is.

This is a good book that shares extra information about the world of Harry Potter. It is quick and easy to read, and enjoyable."

"Amusing, quick read. The essay regarding the evolving definition of "being" vs. "beast" was enlightening in regards to the wizarding world. Cute "reproduction" of Harry's own textbook. I actually wanted more of Harry's scribblings in the margins...the few there were were some of the funniest parts of the book. And more illustrations would have been great, too, especially for those creatures not mentioned in the course of the regular seven books. Proof positive that there's a whole lot more in J.K. Rowling's mind about Harry's world than she could ever fit into those seven books."

"I was looking forward to reading this because as fans of Harry Potter would know, J.K Rowling once said Crookshanks wasn't "an ordinary cat", and I had to find out what exactly he was. The first few pages of the book were brilliantly penned to fuse the ordinary Muggle world and the Wizarding world together - stuff like publishing information, that this edition was written "for Muggle references", how the book could be bought at Diagon Alley, etc. Included was a forward by Albus Dumbledore, and it's hard to tell when exactly the book really begins. Much like the wizarding world, the book makes references to our mundane world, and both run parallel to each other, co-existing with minimal interaction.

And then there are Harry's, Ron's and Hermonie's personal notes on the book - the kind a bored school kid is bound to scribble as "footnotes" on page margins. They're not plentiful - certainly not as many as I would have liked (despite it being the mass reproduction of "Harry's own copy") - but provide decent, though not great comic reading.

We get a brief introduction on what are considered "beasts", before the book turns into a glossary of such creatures. Included are brief descriptions as well as some stick-figureish illustrations, and the book quickly runs out of steam. Humorous side notes made by the three main characters become scarce, even lame, to the point that I started to skim through the definitions of centaurs and manticores. It was like ploughing through a dictionary, perhaps with just a bit more interesting information. I know J.K Rowling didn't promise outright the definition of what a Kneazle was, but with all that suspense you would've thought she'd provide more than six lines of description. Very disappointing. Now I understand why even wizard kids dislike school!"
