I never read the original version of this book. I'm not sure if the "Foreword by the Author" (Newt Scamander) and some of the other content that ties into the film were added, or if the film took elements from it when the script was written. Either way, I think it's an enjoyable companion to the Harry Potter series, and it was written for a good cause. It's basically an encyclopedia of mythical beasts as they appear in the Harry Potter world, so there's no real story thread going on here, but it is still engaging. The illustrations in this edition are, true to the book's title, fantastic. My favorite beast was the puffskein. It's basically like a tribble from Star Trek, only it has two eyes and a long tongue that snakes out every once in a while and eats anything it can find. This includes slipping it up the noses of sleeping wizards and eating their "bogies." (For that matter, if they didn't translate the British terms in this book, why the need to translate them in the other books? I guess I am a book-Slytherin--I most appreciate pureblood, unadulterated books. Bogies forever!!) Animais Fantásticos e Onde Habitam , o clássico compêndio de criaturas mágicas de Newt Scamander, encantou gerações de leitores bruxos. Agora, nesta edição atualizada com um novo prefácio do próprio Newt e a revelação de seis animais pouco conhecidos fora da comunidade bruxa americana, os trouxas também têm a chance de descobrir onde o Thunderbird vive, o que o Puffskein come e por que objetos brilhantes devem sempre ser mantidos longe do Pelúcio. A renda da venda deste livro irá para a Comic Relief e para a instituição de caridade internacional de J.K. Rowling, Lumos, que fará mágica além dos poderes de qualquer bruxo. Se você acha que isso é motivo insuficiente para abrir mão do seu dinheiro, só podemos esperar que os bruxos que passam se sintam mais caridosos se virem você sendo atacado por uma Manticore. Edição ilustrada da obra de Newt Scamander Animais fantásticos e onde habitam, de J.K. Rowling. Ilustrado pela artista Olivia Lomenech Gill, ganhadora do English Association Picture Book Award e indicada para a Kate Greenaway Medal, esta magnífica nova edição em quatro cores do clássico da Biblioteca Hogwarts apresenta uma gama extraordinária de criaturas mágicas, algumas familiares para os leitores da série Harry Potter, como o Hipogrifo e o Basilisco, outras que surpreenderão até mesmo o mais ardente magizoologista amador!

Audio performance by Eddie Redmayne
4 stars
An entertaining two hours of Eddie Redmayne in his role as Newt Scamander. I loved the pseudo academic humor of this little book. The only thing wrong with the audiobook is that it leaves out the margin notes in the original book. ( )
