Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The film is coming next week, but the book has been around a few years now.

Part of the Hogwarts Library boxed set, this was the third and final book I read.

Plot

Newt Scamander travels the world to enlist all the mythical beasts (88 species) that only exist in legends for Muggles.  Beasts like dragons, chimaera, pixies and merfolk.

The book gives at first how the classifications of how dangerous creatures are, before going through a list of all the beasts themselves.

Opinion

Not the best of books for itself, it has been livened up with comments by Ron Weasley that make it fun.

Rating: 5.5 / 10
