About This Book
 
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
represents the fruit of many years’ travel and research. I
look back across the years to the seven-year-old wizard
who spent hours in his bedroom dismembering Horklumps and
I envy him the journeys to come: from darkest jungle to brightest
desert, from mountain peak to marshy bog, that grubby
Horklump-encrusted boy would track, as he grew up, the beasts
described in the following pages. I have visited lairs, burrows, and
nests across five continents, observed the curious habits of
magical beasts in a hundred countries, witnessed their powers,
gained their trust and, on occasion, beaten them off with my
travelling kettle.
The first edition of Fantastic Beasts was commissioned back in
1918 by Mr. Augustus Worme of Obscurus Books, who was kind
enough to ask me whether I would consider writing an
authoritative compendium of magical creatures for his publishing
house. I was then but a lowly Ministry of Magic employee and
leapt at the chance both to augment my pitiful salary of two
Sickles a week and to spend my holidays travelling the globe in
search of new magical species. The rest is publishing history:
Fantastic Beasts is now in its fifty-second edition.
This introduction is intended to answer a few of the most
frequently asked questions that have been arriving in my weekly
postbag ever since this book was first published in 1927. The first
of these is that most fundamental question of all – what is a “beast”?

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Indowebster Server:
The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of
stories written for young wizards and witches.
They have been popular bedtime reading for
centuries, with the result that the Hopping Pot
and the Fountain of Fair Fortune are as familiar
to many of the students at Hogwarts as
Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to Muggle
(non-magical) children.
Beedle’s stories resemble our fairy tales in
many respects; for instance, virtue is usually
rewarded and wickedness punished. However,
there is one very obvious difference. In Muggle
fairy tales, magic tends to lie at the root of the
hero or heroine’s troubles – the wicked witch has
poisoned the apple, or put the princess into a hundred years’ sleep,
or turned the prince into a
hideous beast. In The Tales of Beedle the Bard, on
the other hand, we meet heroes and heroines
who can perform magic themselves, and yet find
it just as hard to solve their problems as we
do. Beedle’s stories have helped generations of
wizarding parents to explain this painful fact of
life to their young children: that magic causes
as much trouble as it cures.
Another notable difference between these
fables and their Muggle counterparts is that
Beedle’s witches are much more active in seeking
their fortunes than our fairy-tale heroines. Asha,
Altheda, Amata and Babbitty Rabbitty are all
witches who take their fate into their own hands,
rather than taking a prolonged nap or waiting
for someone to return a lost shoe. The exception
to this rule – the unnamed maiden of “The
Warlock’s Hairy Heart” – acts more like our idea
of a storybook princess, but there is no “happily
ever after” at the end of her tale.
Beedle the Bard lived in the fifteenth century
and much of his life remains shrouded in mystery.
We know that he was born in Yorkshire, and the
only surviving woodcut shows that he had an
exceptionally luxuriant beard. If his stories accurately
reflect his opinions, he rather liked
Muggles, whom he regarded as ignorant rather
than malevolent; he mistrusted Dark Magic, and
he believed that the worst excesses of wizardkind
sprang from the all-too-human traits of cruelty,
apathy or arrogant misapplication of their own
talents. The heroes and heroines who triumph in
his stories are not those with the most powerful
magic, but rather those who demonstrate the
most kindness, common sense and ingenuity. [more...]

J.K. Rowling - Quidditch Through the Ages

 QUIDDITCH THROUGH THE AGES is one of the most
popular titles in the Hogwarts school library. Madam Pince,
our librarian, tells me that it is “pawed about, dribbled on, and
generally maltreated” nearly every day – a high compliment for any
book. Anyone who plays or watches Quidditch regularly will relish
Mr. Whisp’s book, as do those of us interested in wider wizarding
history. As we have developed the game of Quidditch, so it has
developed us; Quidditch unites witches and wizards from all walks
of life, bringing us together to share moments of exhilaration,
triumph, and (for those who support the Chudley Cannons)
despair.
It was with some difficulty, I must own, that I persuaded Madam
Pince to part with one of her books so that it might be copied for
wider consumption. Indeed, when I told her it was to be made
available to Muggles, she was rendered temporarily speechless, and
neither moved nor blinked for several minutes. When she came to
herself she was thoughtful enough to ask whether I had taken leave
of my senses. I was pleased to reassure her on that point and went
on to explain why I had taken this unprecedented decision.
Muggle readers will need no introduction to the work of Comic
Relief U. K. (which, funnily enough, has nothing to do with the
American organization of the same name), so I now repeat my
explanation to Madam Pince for the benefit of witches and wizards
who have purchased this book. Comic Relief U. K. uses laughter to
fight poverty, injustice, and disaster. Widespread amusement is
converted into large quantities of money (over 250 million dollars
since they started in 1985 – which is the equivalent of over 174
million pounds or thirty-four million Galleons).
Everyone involved in getting this book to you, from the author to
the publisher to the paper suppliers, printers, binders, and
booksellers, contributed their time, energy, and materials free or at
a reduced cost, making it possible for twenty percent of the retail
sales price less taxes from the sale of this book to go to a fund set
up in Harry Potter’s name by Comic Relief U. K. and J. K.
Rowling. This fund was designed specifically to help children in
need throughout the world. By buying this book – and I would
advise you to buy it, because if you read it too long without handing
over money you will find yourself the object of a Thief’s Curse –
you too will be contributing to this magical mission.
I would be deceiving my readers if I said that this explanation
made Madam Pince happy about handing over a library book to
Muggles. She suggested several alternatives, such as telling the
people from Comic Relief U. K. that the library had burned down,
or simply pretending that I had dropped dead without leaving
instructions. When I told her that on the whole I preferred my
original plan, she reluctantly agreed to hand over the book, though
at the point when it came to let go of it, her nerve failed her and I
was forced to prise her fingers individually from the spine.
Though I have removed the usual library book spells from this
volume, I cannot promise that every trace has gone. Madam Pince
has been known to add unusual jinxes to the books in her care. I
myself doodled absentmindedly on a copy of Theories of
Transubstantial Transfiguration last year and next moment found the
book beating me fiercely about the head. Please be careful how you
treat this book. Do not rip out the pages. Do not drop it in the
bath. I cannot promise that Madam Pince will not swoop down on
you, wherever you are, and demand a heavy fine.
All that remains is for me to thank you for supporting Comic
Relief U. K. and to beg Muggles not to try playing Quidditch at
home; it is, of course, an entirely fictional sport and nobody really
plays it. May I also take this opportunity to wish Puddlemere
United the best of luck next season.
