Welcome to Litsy!

A fantastic illustrated edition of all the magical creatures in the world of Harry Potter. Some of these are mentioned in the books and some I‘ve never heard about

The amazing illustrations are by Olivia Lomenech Gill that has really captured the animals

Here‘s my review for a book I finished reading today. I started it last night at 2 AM and finished it at 5:25 PM this afternoon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Woke up to an invasion of Bowtruckles on Hedwig. She doesn't look happy about it at all. It's a good thing I have white walls to see where the cheeky stickies escape to. #hogwarts #hedwig #bowtruckle #stickinsect #owl #fantasyicbeasts #magical #creatures #invasion #hufflepuff

3✨It has been a week! I finished this early this week as an audiobook. I liked it this way because each creature they mention had a sound clip of what they should sound like. I‘m sure there is pictures in a physical book so I‘ll have to look at that in the near future. Just mentions different fantasy creatures in the Harry Potter universe.

Looking forward to finally getting round to reading this! Not even watched the films yet so no idea what im getting into haha.

Going to see Secrets of Dumbledore later today... wearing odd socks to represent Grindelwald (Slytherin) and Newt (Hufflepuff) 😂😂😂

A short and descriptive treat to make the world of HP a little bigger.

Piccolo libro che va a descrivere le creature magiche che popolano il mondo di Harry Potter, il ricavato è devoluto interamente in beneficienza per comic relief e lumos, due enti creati da J.K Rowling per aiutare i bambini in difficoltà.

Today I bought three new Books from my local bookstore 😺

Eddie Redmayne did amazing in this audiobook! I'm quite sad it was short.

A fun enough read. I felt like I wasn‘t getting any reading done (I wasn‘t) over the weekend but I‘m catching up a bit.

For a HP fan this is nice. I liked some of the marginal notes from “Harry” and “Ron.” Might look into the illustrated edition at some point.

I absolutely adored this illustrated edition of fantastic beasts for comic relief . There is a wonderful illustration for each and every beast, There was even a huge pull out of a Ukrainian iron belly dragon.
A definite feast for the eyes 🤩

Although hard to choose My fav was probably the Basilisk picture .... may have something to do with our ‘snakes in the city ‘ addiction on Nat Geo wild 😂

4⭐️ I quite enjoyed this little gem; really wanted to colour in some of the illustrations. #2021 #fantasy #fiction #harrypotter #bookreview #bookstagram #potteraday

I wonder if the puffskein was an inspiration for the tribbles on Star Trek. I definitely feel like this year the pogrebin demon has been following a lot of people and a lot of kicking has been going on. And out of all the beasts in this book if I had to choose one to live my life out as it would definitely be the fwooper- to be able to drive a person to insanity through song sounds awesome.
Thank you for this great book suggestion @Linsy

A fun read. The pictures are great. I especially enjoyed the dragon section. This is a must read for any Harry Potter fan and animal lover.

I always thought Nifflers were kind of cute, actually.

Lovely drawing of a Hungarian Horntail

Mauler: a GREAT name for a magical cat.

This is absolutely appropriate for this time of year.

Uric the Oddball sounds like a fun dude.

This book also has some wonderful footnotes.

I loved the extensive section on dragons!!!

The Lethifold — a stealthy, nocturnal strangling cloak — sounds so freaking creepy! #potteraday

I started this yesterday for #PotterADay and had to finish it last night. I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would. She is so creative and there were multiple LOL moments as well. So clever. I love the illustrations. Highly recommended to my fellow Potterheads! 5⭐️

I dunno if Nessie is a kelpie. I‘ve been lead to believe he‘s an ancient Scottish dragon and companion of Scotland‘s defender, Saltire. There is compelling evidence he‘s a dragon. Just saying.
#potteraday #dragon #kelpie #nessie #lochnessmonster

I am fully aware that dragons and unicorns are real. I know several dragons personally, and obviously a country can‘t have an imaginary creature as it‘s National animal. That would just be ridiculous. Plus, I know a few.

It‘s great for tea AND self defence against magical creatures run amuck.

“Editor‘s note: for muggle edition, usual stuff: ‘obvious fiction - all good fun - nothing to worry about - hope you enjoy it‘
Loving this fun little bit. This wasn‘t in the original, hard copy I had back when these were first published.
#potteraday

I totally wasn‘t paying attention to dates, so I‘m getting started on this tonight.
#potteraday

The intricacies of wizard law are delightful — and entirely fraught — in this intro. My favorite was the ghosts appalled reaction to the “Council‘s unashamed emphasis on the needs of the living as opposed to the wishes of the dead” and “the world‘s largest kelpie” — the Loch Ness Monster — developing “a positive thirst for publicity.” 😆 #potteraday

So, it‘s been a weird week, and I accidentally forgot to start — or remind anyone about — my own read along, so this is me shaking my head at myself and apologizing. If you want to read Fantastic Beasts (textbook) for the last few days of the month, join in! And thank you, @nanuska_153 for reading along!! I will for sure be doing so now as well. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Chamber of Secrets starts March 1st! 🐍✨ #potteraday

Today #PotterADay meant to be only for the Foreword, but I couldn't help myself and read all introduction.

This is my first time reading this, I love the Foreword by Newt Scamander and the explanations of the efforts determining what falls under the definition of beast (as a lawyer I'm a sucker for discussions about terminology 🙈). It also explains how they manage to hide the beast from muggles.

Side note about JK Rowling in the comments👇🏻

I‘m using my Fantastic Beasts deck of cards for #TBRDeckofCards. 4 completed & 4 in progress. Since I‘m doing TBR titles for #LitsyAtoZ, all of these count towards there as well. In addition, all of these titles will go on my #BookSpinBingo card! 💙

Overall, I give this book 3 ⭐️. Like Tales of Beedle the Bard, I thought this was a good addition to the Harry Potter series. I enjoy reading the books mentioned in the books.

Thanks @RamsFan1963 for the tag!
1. Definitely 🐶
2. I have a job interview today!

How about it @veritysalter @AnneCecilie @MrBook @Emilymdxn @hes7 @Booksy

#thankfulthursday @Cosmos_Moon

Thank you for everything @HufflepuffGirl90 I am truly humbled by everything you got me. I actually cried opening Luna‘s wand. I NOW HAVE A WAND!!!!! 😁😍😍😍😍😂😂😂🤣. And the funko pop is so cute but I should of stated no flock ones seeing I am allergic to whatever they use to flock them. So he is going into a case. I truly love everything you got me. #EverythingHarryPotterSwap.

“The sight of a tree at night full of glowing Clabbert lifestyles, while decorative, attracted too many Muggles wishing to ask why their neighbours still had their Christmas lights up in June.”

I love the fantastic beasts, it‘s my favorite part of the Wizarding World the Rowling created. And Eddie Redmayne 😻
#alwaysloveahufflepuff 💛🖤💛🖤

Magizoology readathon.....the top 4 are for OWLs, the bottom 3 for NEWTs. Some overlap with #bookspin.
Dark and Deepest Red — charmed shoes for Charms
In Defense of Food — Herbology
Buffalo for the Broken Heart — Magical Creatures
A Secret History of Witches — Potions
A Charmed Life — Charms
Braiding Sweetgrass — Herbology
The Jumbies — Magical Creatures

I have a lot of books with magical creatures, that was the hardest subject to pick.

I recently came across #magicalreadathon, & I really liked the idea of reading certain subjects in order to complete OWLs & NEWTs & get a wizarding “career.“ I visited the site, I read the career guide, & try as I wanted to pick something else, I fell back on Magizoology. It feels cliche, but it's super right for me at the same time. However, I didn't like the OWL prompts. The Herbology OWL is just reading a book that starts with M? No way. ⬇

Always a Hufflepuff 🖤🦡💛 (this is on Instagram) #everydayimhufflepuffin

I recommend reading the hard copy first, but it was wonderful to hear #EddieRedmayne talk about his beloved beasts. ♥️♥️♥️

Love reading about magical beats. You know, I also listened to Eddie Redymane‘s audio version of this and it was pleasantly addicting. His accent is superb and they added in interesting sound effects.

As a fan of Harry Potter and JK Rowling I enjoyed reading this short book and learning more details about the HP world. I would love to read a more in depth version that tells more details and history of each beast (I am unsure if such a book exists).

Do you think Hedwig wants my biscuit?
