Synopsis

Original version

Fantastic Beast is intended as a reproduction of a textbook owned by Harry Potter and written by magizoologist Newt Scamander, a character in the Harry Potter fiction series. In the series, Magizoology is the study of supernatural beings.

Albus Dumbledore, principal of Hogwarts, gives the Preface and explains the purpose of this special edition of the book (charity Aid Comics). In the end, he tells the reader, "... The cute creature described hereafter is fictitious and can not hurt you." He repeats the motto Hogwarts: "Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus", Latin for "Do not tickle a sleeping dragon".

Fantastic Animals and Where to Find Them contains a history of Magizoology and illustrates the 85 magical species found throughout the world. Scamander says that he collects most of the information found in this book through observations made over the years traveling across five continents. He notes that the first edition was commissioned in 1918 by Augustus Worme of Obscurus Books. However, it was not published until 1927. Now in its fifty-second edition.

Reception

Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly rated the book as "A" and wrote "With a very detailed history lesson and clever debate outlining the differences between being and animals , plus a summary of 85 strange creatures choked with Rowling's trademark gameplay ( Glumbumble is striking), Beasts adds a new dimension important to Potter mythology. "
