This is going to be a short review. It’s a pretty short book and I don't have a lot to say about it since I’m pretty sure I reviewed the physical form of this book a few years ago. If not, well I'll put one up at some point. Well, I just looked and it turns out I did not. I must have read it before Goodreads. 

I loved this book even more with it was being read to me. Jude Law was probably my favorite voice actor. It really felt like Dumbledore was teaching me lessons in this book or I was sitting in his office while he read to me. It was so relaxing and soothing. All the other voice actors did a great job as well! I’m pretty sure all of them are in the Harry Potter movie universe. 

I’m now getting the rest of the textbooks in audio form. I hope Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is read by the actor who plays the author in the movies. I wish the original three read some stories but that’s just me being picky. Overall, I commend the voice actors. They were great! 

Overall, I loved this. If I was to have one complaint, it would be that sometimes the voice actors’ voices got very low, for dramatic effect, but it made it hard to hear sometimes. But really that’s a small complaint and didn’t hinder my love in any way. I just turned up the volume and that solved it. But I just really loved this a lot.

Disclaimer: Yes, I am well aware of how awful J.K Rowling is. The Harry Potter world means a great deal to me and it absolutely makes my heart break that she is using her fame to spread misinformation and really just being an awful human being.
