A copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them resides on almost every wizarding household in the country. Now, for a limited period only, Muggles too have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world, which means that the dollars and Galleons you exchange for it will do magic beyond the powers of any wizard. If you feel that this is insufficient reason to part with your money, I can only hope most sincerel that passing wizards feel more charitable if they ever see you being attacked by a Manticore. -Albus Dumbledore

* Cue the inhuman shrieks of joy *
As a longtime fan, I am just reveling in this latest illustrating the HP books trend. Especially considering J.K.'s original bestiary gave scant descriptions of (some) wholly unknown and many extremely quirky creatures. Literally, over the moon.
In the new edition, Newt Scamander's forward is quick to mention that all proceeds go to comic relief - a truly admirable Muggle charity. In addition: I was permitted to reissue the book only on that a disclaimer was included, assuring Muggle readers that it was a work of fiction. We now have new creatures, including the Hodag, Horned Serpent, Thunderbird, Hidebehind, Wampus Cat and Snallygaster (my favorite), which brings up the total to 81. to reflect Newt's journey to America. Within the new creatures descriptions are references to Ilvermorny (U.S. version of Hogwarts).
Figure 1: Snallygaster - part lizard, part bird that is sometimes mistaken as the Loch Ness Monster - in part due to its curious nature. Some of the creatures featured in the movies looked slightly different. Notably, the grindylow - instead of being an octopus-like water demon has become a mermaid with legs:
Figure 2: The "Grindylow" - a water demon. Famous for ruining Fleur de Lacour's chances at eternal glory. Absent from this edition, the painfully small scribblings from Harry, Ron and Hermione. While I miss l missed their quirky musings and chatter, the full-color illustrations more than make up for that. This is truly a beautiful book. It is my fondest hope that a new generation of witches and wizards will find in its pages fresh reason to love and protect the incredible beasts with whom we share magic
Figure 3: The Unicorn - by far the absolute best mythical creature in the world.
