Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them : Rowling, J. K.: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Nice book - Good for 10+ years kids Review: As Professor Dumbledore declared in the foreword that “no wizarding household is complete without a copy of this book.” So I wasted no time and got myself a copy at Flourish and Botts! My very own duplicate of Harry Potter’s copy and I enjoyed it a lot especially Professor Dumbledore’s foreword! You only have to read a part of his foreword to be convinced to read the book. But what I enjoyed even more were Ron’s, Harry’s and Hermione’s scribbling on random pages of the book. Just a few samples: “Harry loves Moaning Myrtle” (Bahaha!) ”The 1965 Ban on Experimental Breeding has made the creation of new species illegal.” ---> “but no one’s told Hagrid.” I’m pretty sure it’s Ron who classified ACROMANTULA with 10 X’s. (Lol!) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the result of many years research and discusses at some length the definition of the word 'beast', and indeed which creatures may be categorised as beasts. Also covered is the ongoing Muggle ignorance of magical creatures. Clause 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy is explained as reason for magical beasts being in hiding, and there is also information about how that is done. Disillusionment charms, memory charms and the Office of Misinformation all have a role to play. What then follows is an alphabetical list of fantastic beasts, all of which have been classified according to the Ministry of Magic as belonging to one of five categories: * Boring (Although Newt in the film would never describe creatures as boring which this book does, the character was fascinated by all creatures.) * Harmless and may be domesticated * A competent wizard should be able to cope with them * Dangerous and requires specialist wizard knowledge * Known wizard killer or impossible to train or domesticate There's everything from Centaurs and Flobberworms, to Kneazles, Nifflers and Wampus Cats. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a book for every Harry Potter fan: read it from cover to cover, browse and learn more about the magical universe, and refer to it as you read the Harry Potter series, or watch the movies.

Harry Potterの教科書ということで、ハリー・ロン・ハーマイオニーの落書きがしてあって楽しい☆ 本を読んでてわからない生物が出たときにこれで調べてます。

Il libro ha una copertina molto bella ed elegante. Le storie degli animali fantastici sono sintetiche ma esaustive. Veramente molto bello.
