Gr 4-8-These slim paperbacks are made to look like actual Hogwarts tomes, complete with creased covers and plenty of marginalia scribbled by Harry and other students. Fabulous Beasts, a facsimile of Harry Potter's very own textbook, contains descriptions of 75 magical beasts, written in a wonderfully dry yet droll style by a renowned magizoologist. Quidditch is the facsimile of a Hogwarts library book, which had to be literally pried from the hands of librarian Madam Pince. It gives a comprehensive history of the game and its rules, as well as a rundown of each of the 13 league teams of Britain and Ireland. Harry Potter fans who pride themselves on knowing every minute bit of Hogwarts trivia will devour both books. From Professor Dumbledore's introductions to the price listed on the back cover (14 Sickles 3 Knuts), readers will find a wealth of detailed magical lore and laugh-out-loud humor. Neither book is as gripping as the actual series, of course, but fans who are waiting for the fifth installment will be entertained by these volumes in the meantime.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Newt's fantastic beasts are hardly beloved. It's clear the rest of the magical community does not share Newt's enthusiasm for these creatures, seeing as he explains to a rather skeptical Tina that he hopes his book will educate his fellow wizards on "why we should be protecting these magical creatures instead of killing them."
If you are thinking of naming your new fluffy friend after acharacter or a creature from FantasticBeasts and Where to Find Them, you are in for a treat! Not only do you havea myriad of literal fantastic beasts to choose from, you also have a prettylong list of famous witches and wizards whose name could become the name ofyour dog! Giving a human name to your dog is one of the many options here, andchoosing a name of a famous magizoologist can even deliver a very interestingbackstory to your pup. Why not pick the name Harvey, after the notablemagizoologist Harvey Ridgebit, a dragonologist who was one of the first peopleto establish a dragon sanctuary, now located in Romania.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Newt Scamander's classic compendium of magical creatures, has delighted generations of wizarding readers. Now, in this updated edition with a new foreword by Newt himself and the unveiling of six beasts little known outside the American wizarding community, Muggles too have the chance to discover where the Thunderbird lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why shiny objects should always be kept away from the Niffler.
The Early People gallery in the basement of the National Museum of Scotland is where to find fantastic beasts. These creatures emerged from the vivid imaginations of people living in Scotland over a thousand years ago. Some of them came from far away. Some are out in the open, while others are minute or hidden.
Many museum galleries have a code for how to find things. In the Early People gallery each glass case has a letter and a number code beginning at [A1] and, if you want to, you can follow the whole story through the alphabet up to [Y25]. There are four different colour-codes that tell you which of the four main themes of the gallery you are in and in each case there is also a map of Scotland and a timeline to show you where things were found and when they were made. Using this guide you will now be able to seek out fantastic beasts throughout the Early People gallery.
On later metalwork, fantastic beasts tell us about the variety of people and mythologies that came to Scotland during the early medieval period. If you look very closely at the Hunterston brooch [V7] you will see a variety of creatures depicted at a minute scale using the finest gold-working technology using tiny gold balls and wire.
