  1. Fantastic beasts and where to find them is just what the title says: Fantastic! I recommend it to any Harry Potter fans. You can learn about all the different creatures in Harry potter. It is one in a series of partner books which also includes Quidditch through the ages and the tales of Beedle the Bard.

  2. I really love this book. The part I love the most though, are those funny little notes that Ron and Harry have left. I especially like the notes on the Acromantula (giant spiders!), that Ron put about ten 'X's next to. The 'X's symbolise ow dangerous. Such as, the Flobber Worm. One X. but dragons, have five.It is a great read, and I am glad the funds go to a good cause.
