I love that this was narrated by Eddie Redmayne! He play the perfect Newt in the movies and it was nice to hear Newt’s book read in his voice.

Kindle Unlimited has a cool colored/animated version of this book to look at. It wasn't anything I was interested in though. I originally thought it was the screen play and I was wrong.

 Upon re-reading the novels, it's hard not to see the author's traditionalist, gender-conformist mindset. 

Once, I believed in separating the art from the artist, but this is the first time I've had to try doing so while the artist is still alive and using wealth gained from their art to cause suffering.

Writers have power, the living have power, and the wealthy have power. She is all of those things. I have to do what I can to regain the power I gave her, and this is it.

This book will remain a staple for children who have yet to be jaded by the world.

Fantastic to listen to on audiobook, read by Eddie Redmayne! Him voicing his character's writing, as well as the sound effects, made it very immersive to listen to. I listened to the last half hour or so outside on a beautiful day and that really elevated the whole experience. One of my favorite reading experiences so far this year!

Another great addition to your collection if you're a Harry Potter fan like I am. I won't tell much about what's in this book; it's way cooler to discover it on your own :)
