Book Description:
From Publishers Weekly
Two new books penned by J.K. Rowling will help tide over Harry Potter fans as they await book five, and raise money for a good cause: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, an A to Z listing of all beings magical (and required reading for all first-year Hogwarts students), and Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp (a "renowned Quidditch expert"), the official handbook of the wizard's sport of choice, both with a foreword by esteemed Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore. Rowling wrote the books to raise funds for Comic Relief in the U.K., a charitable organization helping poor and disadvantaged people in Africa and the U.K. (not affiliated with the U.S. Comic Relief organization). Many printers and paper suppliers are joining in the effort by donating their services.

I thought that this book about the beasts was good, and it included written notes by some of the beasts by Harry so that added humor to the book and didn't make it totally serious. I enjoyed reading it.

This is puportedly one of Harry Potter's school books, annotated by Harry, Hermione and young Weazly.
Original sales profits of this book by J.K. Rowling went to the Comic Relief charitable organization.
Good fun! (I hadn't known that Kneazles could interbreed with domestic cats or that Bowtruckles were edible . . .)
