I thought I was getting the book, like the movie but better.
Published by AChery , 10 days ago
It’s the students’ textbook. Lists and descriptions of magical creatures, what they do…tidbits.
It’s cool, I just thought I was getting a full-length book.

I overpaid for this. It isn’t even a real book. It’s more of a pamphlet

Makes the Wizarding World Even More Realistic To Us Muggles
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I hate to give away some of the books more interesting points, but I LOVE the way this book is written to explain away muggle sightings of magical beasts such as the Loch Ness Monster, and other creatures featured in muggle "fairy stories" such as fairies, unicorns, trolls, etc. It also explains how such creatures can really exist without our knowledge. The Foreward by Dumbledore that mentions the "Thiefs Curse" on anyone reading the book who did not purchase it is also cute. The notes by Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are amusing as well.Another benefit for any reader of Harry Potter books is that it gives one a greater understanding of why creatures like the centaurs in the first book and the mermaids in the fourth book mostly want little to do with humans. Of course this portrayal of the centaurs behavior is only in the book and not the movie, and therefore wouldn't be at all intriguing to someone who has only seen the movie, but only to a true addict like myself. I can't wait till the 5th book is released - I WANT MORE!
Wanna know what a Gnome is? Or read Harry & Ron's notes?

This book is great for HP fans! Learn what a Imp is or learn about Muggle awareness. Learn about almost every beast in the magical world with this. Learn what a Doxy is or a Flobberworm. Harry's world is full of make-belive animals. With over 75 animals to learn about you will be amazed how JK thought of it! It gots a Foreword by Dumboldore. This book gives you a understanding of HP's world in the books.
