Industry Reviews "With its richly detailed history lessons and witty debate parsing the differences between 'being' and 'beast,' plus a compendium of 85 magical creatures that's chockablock with Rowling's trademark wordplay ('Glumbumble' is a standout), BEASTS adds a vital new dimension to the Potter mythology."
