Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, J.K. Rowling
4.0

With the recent release of the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, every Harry Potter fan will want this encyclopedia of magical beasts. Written by Newt Scamander himself, the book is an A-Z of various animals and creatures, some of which we have now seen in the many film adaptations.

There aren’t any illustrations, which is a shame, but the book does include notes and annotations from Harry and Ron which are quite funny. Still, it would be great for a later edition to add some sketches of these monsters to complement the detailed descriptions of all of these imaginary beasts.
