The animals listed in this bestiary range from the mundane to the fantastic. Some are magical beasts, some common animals, and some are something in between. Many of these creatures are described in greater detail in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander. Anyone interested in Magical creatures is encouraged to buy that book. Muggles as well as Wizards will find copies of this well-known reference at bookshops everywhere.

Editor's note: Some of these creatures exist in Muggle folklore but with very different attributes (e.g. boggart). If you're curious about the "real" versions of any of these animals, look through some of the web sites on the resources page. Creatures which appear to have been invented entirely by JKR are in italics while non-magical animals are listed in brown.
