Common Sense Media Review
Rowling's imagination seems to know no bounds--this little
volume contains descriptions of 85 creatures, some based on
mythology, some entirely the author's creation. Though the
descriptions are lively, reading this cover to cover can be a
little dry for all but the most fanatic Potter fan.
Most kids skim through to read all the clever margin notes that Harry and friends have written (the most fun part of the book). These will make sense only to those who have read the novels, and so constitute a sort of in-joke that kids enjoy. Many then go back and read the introductory chapters and a few of the descriptions, leaving the rest for use as reference when reading, or rereading, the novels.
