This is the companion volume to [Quidditch Through the Ages] and is another clever and delightful look at the world of Harry Potter. I especially enjoyed the “introductory material” which gave a history of magizoology and how the classifications of “beings” and “beasts” evolved. A young person who read this in elementary school might find biology in high school more comprehensible and interesting with this background. Recommended for die-hard Harry Potter Fans ( )

A really great bestiary. Entertaining for any HP fan, and extremely useful for those of us who write fics! FB adds even more colour to Rowling's well-crafted world, fleshing out details that are only mentioned in passing in the novels themselves, and adding in all sorts of delightful supplementary material.

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. ( )

Just another way to cash in on the Harry Potter phenomena. This book is completely pointless and simply filled with nonsense about mythical creatures some of which were mentioned in the Harry Potter series. Looking back I'm not sure why I ever bought it. ( )
