The movie of the same name, has an adventure in New York City in which Newt Scamander talks about the book he is working on. This is the book. The highlight here is the section on Dragons. There is a picture and brief data about each of the types of dragons, ten in all. There is a four-page fond out featuring the Ukrainian Iron Belly. Every page delights, from the introduction which tries to explain what is a beast. Admittedly not all creatures in the books are beasts, but the Centaur chose not to be classified with intelligent beings. This includes many creatures seen in the Harry Potter series, including the Troll, Merpeople and the Gnomes. Ghosts are not included. There are also animals featured in the Newt Scamander movie such as the Bowtruckle and Niffler. I love the creativity and really enjoy the illustrations. This book features 81 different creatures, not counting the dragons separately.
