Newt Scamander: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Dear Author,
Fantastic Beasts was your first book for charity. It took me 17 years to get around to it, but here we are. You wrote not only the book, but also Harry's and his friends' remarks on his copy. The continued shoutouts to Hagrid made me laugh, then snort, then chuckle, then yawn. Towards the end, they repeat themselves.
The book itself, written by "Newt Scamander", is what a schoolbook about magical creatures would be: sometimes fascinating, sometimes dull. All those dragon species make me wish You had opted for a little less realism. But all in all, an enjoyable companion to the Harry Potter books.
Yours sincerely
Christina Widmann de Fran
