Brief summary:
The most complete A to Z listing of magical beasts available! From Hippogriffs and Blast-ended Screwts to Unicorns and Hungarian Horntails, this book covers all the magical beasts you've ever heard of -- and will introduce you to a host of ones you haven't. It's on the required reading list for all Hogwarts students, and a much-revered favorite of Hagrid, Hogwarts' groundskeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher. This edition is an exact facsimile of Harry Potter's own copy, including his and his friends' notes in the margins.
This book is now offered with its companion, "Quidditch Though the Ages," and all proceeds are donated to Comic Relief, an organization which "exists to tackle poverty and promote social justice by helping disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa to realize their aspirations and potential."
