Book Review: Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them


Review:  #312
Title:  Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them
Series:  Harry Potter - companion book
Author:  J.K. Rowling
Read Before:  yes
My Comments:  While it’s a short book, it contains all the magical beasts that had appeared in the Harry Potter universe (I think) and much more.  Reading through it, a couple of them were so interesting that I wished they had some sort of appearance in the mainline books.  A few of them there is enough content that you can even write spin off books from!  While some of the entries are clearly filler and aren’t too interesting at all, most of them were good, and it makes the Harry Potter universe more grounded to reality.  Each of the beasts were plausible.  It would be better if there were more annotations made by Harry and Ron, as they were amusing and funny.  This companion book doesn't feel lazy at all.
