I liked this book because I liked looking at all of the different creatures mostly. The quidditch one was cool too but I especially like the beasts. :)

Once again, Ms Rowling displays her carefully culled imagination. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, "notes" taken by Harry and Ron add hilarious commentary to the text itself. In Quidditch Through the Ages, Rowling provides an in-depth history of the game and its teams. I even found myself wondering what team I would support if I was a witch.
These are great additions to the Harry Potter canon. I LOVED both of these books.

Perfect for any Harry Potter buff-gives you great insight into the HP universe, and bits of trivia some less educated Potterheads will say "NO WAY! HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!" to.
The most recent Harry Potter books to be released was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which came out during the summer of 2000. The next book in the series of seven, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has been slated for a summer/fall 2002 release. The question remains to the many, man fans is what to read in the meantime? Fortunately J. K. Rowling has produced two chapbooks, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, whose proceeds go towards Comic Relief.
“Comic Relief is one of Britain’s most famous and successful charities. Begin in 1985, the organization has raised more than $250 million for such charities as the Red Cross, Oxfam, Sight Savers, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, and Anti-Slavery International. A special ‘Harry’s Books’ fund has been created where proceeds from the sale of Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them will go to support children’s causes throughout the world. Every book sold counts! Fifty cents will send a child to school for a week – and change his or her life forever” – A Note from J. K. Rowling.
Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp (WhizzHard Books, 56 pages. 14 sickles 3 knuts): For the first time ever, a most unique book has been published and released into the muggle world. In these pages you will find not only complete details on how to play the amazing wizard sport of Quidditch, but also a comprehensive history of the game, from its beginning stages to how it is currently played. There is also a complete listing of all the Quidditch teams of Britain, as well as some of the major international teams, including America’s own Sweetwater All-Stars from Texas, and the Fitchburg Finches from Massachusetts.
In this book will also be found a history of the many brooms that have been used in the world of Quidditch, as well as a full listing of the major moves that can be performed during the game. Enough of baseball and football, Quidditch is the game of the future!
Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander (Obscurus Books, 42 pages, 14 sickles 3 knuts): Paired with the release of Quidditch Through the Ages, there is the concise compendium of monsters and beasts. You know you’ve seen strange things, shapes and shadows you can’t explain; monsters you tell yourself don’t exist, especially not in any book! Well, with Fantastic Beasts you will find out the truth: what the beast is called, how dangerous it is, what it exactly looks like, and how to beware it. The book is arranged in alphabetical order, along with a special foreword by none other than Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Together with a Ministry of Magic (M.O.M.) Classification on how dangerous the beast is: XXXXX – Known wizard killer/impossible to train or domesticate (like the Acromantula); XXXX – Dangerous/requires specialist knowledge/skilled wizard may handle (like the Demiguise); XXX – Competent wizard should cope (like the Fwooper); XX – Harmless/may be domesticated (like the Ramora); and X – Boring (like the Horklump).
This book is a must for all who wish to survive in this unusual world where you know everything that goes bump in the night.
