Earlier today my mom was going through all kinds of things to give away to good will and she told me to sift through a pile of literally hundreds of books (she's a school teacher) for anything I'd want. I saved a few books I had fond memories of from my childhood and two Harry Potter spin-offs from J.K. Rowling (pen-named above as "Newt Scamander" to keep with canonicity). It's a brief and silly book and I wouldn't advise anyone to read it unless they really, really enjoy the Harry Potter franchise and specifically its bestiary of mythical creatures. But at 64 pages in length, this was no time-waster. One aspect of the book that was sometimes cute and sometimes annoying was that it was actually a copy of Harry Potter's personal textbook, and in typical teenager fashion, Harry would write little sarcastic notes in the margins. Some were appreciable, but others just made him seem lame. Anyway, that's all I've got to say about this one and I'm sure I'll get to its companion piece - a book about Quidditch - very soon.
