Summary: Fantastic Beasts And Quiddich what more do you need?
Review: I met many people that didnt understand the Idea of quiddich and the beasts. Seeing the name of a beast in one part of a book, seeing it again and going "what did that animal look like again?".With these books youll know a Hippogriff from a Centaur from a Unicorn. Quiddich helps you understand the history of quiddich and is ery informitive and "backs up" the idea of quiddich giving it an explanation to be there for a reason. Love em!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Doing her best once again...
Review: These two school books were written by J.K. Rowling under different pseudonyms. Both give an interesting look at the worlf that Rowling has designed for Harry Potter. The books are relatively short (I was able to read "Quidditch Through the Ages" over my lunch hour), they do give some very interesting information. Hopefully, these books will only whet your appetite for the upcoming Book 5 that should be out sometime this winter - or maybe early next year. However, these two books will be of much interest to Harry Potter fans of all ages. I recommend purchasing them - they are relatively inexpensive, and the proceeds are donated to a good cause.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I liked one book better than the other.
Review: The one about Beasts I liked very much, because it had footnotes writen my Harry Potter and friends. But the one about Quidditch was pretty boring. It had no funny footnotes, unless you count the forword. I would have given Quidditch Through the Ages 3 stars and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 5 stars. Amazon.com should sell these books by themsevles and so if you liked one book better than the other, like me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JK does it once more
Review: JK is alot like the energizer bunny, just when I thought that she was going to leave me and my fellow fans alone of ponder different things untill the fifth book arrives(or the movie)But, haha! she saved me. I luv the monster book, especially the comments made by harry and ron through out it. JK is verycreative and doesnt miss one detail from her books. The quidditch book isnt as intersting, mabey just to me but I like the idea of the golden snidget. So if you want to know where kappas REALLY live, or how to play gouldenbull(spelling?) give em a read, even if you havent read any of them

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Beasts Fantastic improvement!!
Review: Newt Scamander's new book (the 52nd edition - the first being published in 1927 - all editions by Obscurus Books) is a true resource for anyone with either an amateur or professional interest in beasts.

This edition of the book starts with an enjoyable and energetic introduction by the esteemed Albus Dumbledore. The book includes many simple but effective illustrations. For example, the images of the Plimpy (page 33) capture their true essence and typical movements.

The book is bound in a handy size for taking along on beast safaris, while still very suitable for the library or wizard workshop.

No wizard (or really anyone else) should be without this book!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: J.K. Rowling does it again!
Review: I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and cannot wait till the 5th book and movie comes out! Anyway I have read all 4 books so far and rated them a 5 star book! Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was also given a 5 star rating by me! It told you EVERYTHING about beasts and where to find them! It included seventy five beast species, 10 diffrent dragons and much much more! This is a very good book on beasts! I also liked the humorous notes quoted by Ron, Hermione, and of course Harry!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Part of Harry... That I'm Sure You Want to Know!
Review: Since I started reading the Harry Potter book series I have always wanted to see what his schoolbooks were like. Now, I was able to read them. They are excellent, and I just don't know how J.K. Rowling gets all of these ideas for the different beasts, and the different types of balls used for Quidditch. She is truly a remarkable writer.

Both of the books are modeled after the textbooks mentioned in the series and are written by the great authors Kennilworthy Whisp and Next Salamander(with the help of J.K Rowling). They also have a foreward by Dumbledore, in which Dumbledore explains that the purpose of releasing the books for muggles is to raise money for charity. Any muggle will have fun reading all of the many sections of these books about Quidditch and magical beasts. The Fantastic Beasts and Where to find Them, which I have read the most, is is a very good branch of Rowling's imagination. It talks about many different creatures, both dangerous and peaceful. Harry and Ron have written many notes in the book, some relating to the Chudley Cannons, some about Hagrid's love of monsters, and many about what they learned from facing monsters(they can confirm that there are giant spiders in Scotland). The other book is taken from the Hogwarts library, and we can tell that all of the Quidditch players have used this book often. It describes the history of Quidditch, the rules, the ancient forms of Quidditch, and the popularity of the game. It's pretty amazing what one can learn from these books. We learn that dodos aren't really extinct, but are magical birds that disappear from muggle sight. We learn that fairies lay eggs and grow in cocoons. We learn that America, Quodpot is more popular than Quidditch. We also learn the ten most common fouls of the seven hundred fouls that exist. We can even learn how many dollars Galleons are equivilent to. These books help us learn a part of the Harry Potter books we didn't know. Anyone impatient for the next book in the series will find relief here. I can assure you will love laughing at the cute humor. I hope for more text books in the future!

Thanks J.K and Thank You for Taking Time to Read My Review,

Jordan

Summary: Great!!!
Review: These books were great! The names of some of the beasts and where to find them were funny. Quidditch through the ages was interesting. It told the rules of the game and famous people who played. The books were excellent!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: Although i'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan Quidditch Through The Ages just was'nt interesting. Also some of the words are hard to read their so small! But this was an excellent book for Quidditch lovers! It had alot of good facts on Quidditch and it told the WHOLE history!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Next Best Thing!
Review: If you can't get the Harry Potter books, these are the right books for you! You have the chance to get into Harry's mind! You have to get these books! They are the best! But, then again, everything that has to do with Harry Potter is the best! I love Harry Potter so much! Everyone should get these books! They are the best books, besides the original Harry Potter books! And they are beautifully created by J.K. Rowling, herself, not someone else! All I have to say is " Buy these great books!"
