Summary: 2 great books to add to the collection
Review: I am a huge Harry Potter fan & these 2 additional books are great. "Quidditch Through The Ages" really takes you into the history of this highly important sport to all of the wizarding world. It explains the game & the way the game balls have evolved over the years. It really made me understand this fictional game even more.

"Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" describes various different animals, some pleasant, but most are not thru this text book. A few pictures drawn here & there, I think more pictures would have been nice, to give the reader a better idea what some of these creatures look like.

Another cute feature are the little handwritten comments by Harry, Ron & Hermoine throughout the books. Makes you feel a little like a first year student, using the books that they had used a few years ahead of you. I recommend these 2 books to any Harry Potter fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool!
Review: These books are cool! Anything you ever wanted to know about magical creatures is in the book. If you like quidditch, you should read these, too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Charming
Review: These books were really a cute idea. J.K. Rowling is a very imaginative person. Any fan will be delighted by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages. Fantastic Beasts has notes scribled throughout it by Harry Ron and Hermonie. Quidditch doesn't (it's a library book where Fantastic Beasts belongs to Harry.) And they are for a good cause. What more do you need to be told?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: love it
Review: these books are great! if you ever read anything in your life read these great books(plus the other four books of the great HARRY POTTER!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Very Good...
Review: In response to Betsy... they're not SUPPOOSED to be a continuation of Harry Potter. They're meant to be a glimpse at the sort of textbooks the Hogwarts students would have to carry with them. And they are very good, nice little touch to add.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This book is good, but.............
Review: I like to enjoy reading J.K. Rowling's book, so I bought all her books, I also bought this two book, whiches kind of good, not as good as Harry Potter's. YOu need to know that this two book has nothing to do with Harry Potter. It's mostly about the Beasts in the book Harry Potter and the Oudditch game rules of Qudditch. If those peoples who like to enjoy the senen of Qudditch or the beasts Hagrid always think they cute babies.... you got to buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Cute!
Review: These two books are great additions to any Harry Potter collection! "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" features tons of facts on creatures that you've read about in the Harry Potter series in the format of a textbook. Written throughout the book are notes from Harry and Ron! In "Quidditch Through the Ages", you'll find the whole history of your favorite sport, from the beginings of the broomstick to the spread of Quidditch worldwide, plus information on all the Quidditch teams in Britain and Ireland. I definetly recommend these books to everyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: These books are a great addition to any Potter fans . The book "Quidditch Through the Ages" explain throughly(but not boring)the history of Qidditch. This book contains many humors that make you laugh out loud. The other book "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" describe many beasts in the Harry potter world and the Ministry of Magic offices. This book also contain many humors written by Harry and Ron.

P.S:You should read ALL Harry Potter books or you won't undrestand some stuff written by Ron or Harry.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A nice little read.
Review: If your a true fan of Harry Potter and his delights, then you'll probably enjoy these two books. It's imaginative that the books look like they came from Harry's world. The first book, "Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them", reads like a dictionary with names and discriptions of Rowlings fictionized versions of magical animals in Harry's world. It shows how J.K. Rowlings has a gift for detail. The book goes as far to show a rating system that catergorizes the beasts from "Known wizard killer/impossible to domesticate" to "Boring". There's also cute little notes scrawled in the margins by Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The second book wasn't as interesting. First it didn't have the little side notes because it's suppost to be a library book from Hogwarts and "Madam Pince has been know to add unusual jinxes to the books in her care". It explains how Quidditch came about, the history of brooms, and where the golden snitch came from. "Quidditch Through The Ages" reads like a text book, but it's still neat. Once again it shows how J.K. Rowlings can get lost in Harry's world and make it more rounded. The books are worth getting if only for the donation to Comic Relief. As the great Albus Dumbledore said "If you feel that this is insufficient reason to part with your money, I can only hope most sincerely that passing wizards fell charitable if they ever see you being attacked by a Manticore".
