«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 graffitiing the book, and adding their own hand-written opinions.»
