Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them


I read this book for my independent reading assignment.  We went to this Harry Potter party at the library, and my favorite librarian, Ms. Natalie, suggested that I read this book.  It is amazing!  You must read it!  

My Mom gave me the assignment to create 3 fact posters about 3 of the magical beasts from the book.  Drum roll please . . .



  • The female is generally larger and more aggressive than the male.
  • A dragon hide, blood, heart, liver, and horns all have highly magical properties, but dragon eggs are defined as class A non-tradeable goods.
  • Dragons are probably the most famous of all magical beasts.  



  • The Billywig lives in Australia.
  • It is half an inch long. 
  • If you get stung by a Billywig one of the side effects is hovering uncontrollably.


  • A fairy is a small and decorative beast of little intelligence.
  • Fairies have large insect like wings which may be transparent or multi-colored, according to type.
  • Despite its humanlike appearance a fairy cannot speak, but makes a high-pitched buzzing noise.
Read the book!  

Signing Off,
Evalynn and Mom

  1. If you are a Harry Potter fan like my daughter, Grace, then I think you should also read these books:
    Quidditch Through the Ages, by JK Rowling
    The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, by Dinah Bucholz
    The cookbook truly has some delicious recipes that are fun to make!
