This is book is sort of a textbook of beasts and beings. It's a lovely reading as is evokes various images in your head how one or other should look like or looked like in movies.. And it's a great laugh in most of parts. Short, funny and recommended for HP fans.

Este libro ha resultado ser una grata sorpresa.

Aparte de contener datos sobre un montón de seres y criaturas del mundo mágico, nos habla de la política sobre su control y la forma en que el Ministerio de Magia los clasifica, acorde a su grado de peligrosidad. Me ha resultado muy curioso e interesante conocer toda esta información y me han encantado todos los pequeños guiños a la saga de Harry Potter que se pueden encontrar entre sus páginas.

Creo que es un libro que todo el mundo puede disfrutar, ya que no contiene spoilers, aunque seguramente los fans de Harry Potter podrán entenderlo mejor (debido a esos pequeños guiños a la saga). Os recomiendo que le déis una oportunidad, si todavía no lo habéis hecho.

Es divertido como expande el mundo de HP. Siempre son bienvenidas estas cosas. Para todos los que amamos el mundo mágico, es recomendado! No voy a hacer comentarios sobre las películas, pero no estarían teniendo tanto que ver, aunque es lindo ver a las criaturas del mundo mágico.

This slim little volume is supposedly a faithful reprinting of Harry Potter’s very own copy of this text book. It includes various notes and drawings in the margins made by the young wizard and his friends as they studied the care and feeding of magical creatures. We learn of the history of the various agencies, councils and departments responsible for regulating creatures, beings, and spirits. The volume explains the classification system (X to XXXXX), the habitats and habits of the various creatures, as well as multiple helpful tips for dealing with them.

It’s a clever premise and wonderfully well executed. My only complaint is the typeface; my older eyes would have liked MUCH larger print, and perhaps more illustrations (though it’s nice to let the imagination run wild). All proceeds from sale of this book go to a U.K. foundation that helps disadvantaged children worldwide.

I'm defo looking forward to the film now! Too many interesting creatures to remember. I especially enjoyed the beginning explaining the Being, Beast and Spirit divisions in the Ministry of Magic.
