★有聲書由知名演員艾迪.瑞德曼親自朗讀
★霍格華茲魔法與巫術學院指定教科書
這是魔法動物學家紐特.斯卡曼德研究多年的心血結晶,記錄了近百隻怪獸的來源、習性、產地,更重要的是牠們的危險程度以及被攻擊時的治癒方法。
猴蛙閃閃發亮的膿皰每每讓麻瓜以為是聖誕節的裝飾;食童怪會將無辜的小孩從大人身邊騙開;彩鳴鳥唱的歌很悅耳,但聽久了會瘋掉……本書為數個世代的巫師讀者帶來無窮樂趣,同時也是了解魔法世界不可不讀的入門書籍。
全新版特別增加了紐特為巫師們所寫的全新自序,也首度揭露美國魔法國會原本禁止對麻瓜公開的六隻秘密怪獸:幻影鬼、紅眼怪、角蛇、鳥形龍、雷鳥和貓豹,其中更包含了美國伊法魔尼魔法與巫術學校的學院代表獸。麻瓜們並將有機會一窺雷鳥的棲息地、胖胖球最愛的食物,以及為什麼閃亮亮的物品都該放得離玻璃獸遠一點。

An approved textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since publication, Newt Scamander's masterpiece has entertained wizarding families through the generations. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an indispensable introduction to the magical beasts of the Wizarding World. Scamander's years of travel and research have created a tome of unparalleled importance. Some of the beasts will be familiar to readers of the Harry Potter books - the Hippogriff, the Basilisk, the Hungarian Horntail ... Others will surprise even the most ardent amateur Magizoologist. This is an essential companion to the Harry Potter stories, and includes a new foreword from J.K. Rowling (writing as Newt Scamander) and six new beasts!
Narrated by Eddie Redmayne, this is the first audio book edition of Scamander's textbook ever to be released. Having starred as Newt Scamander himself in the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, who better to narrate this Hogwarts Library book from one of the Wizarding World's most famous Magizoologists? Eddie's film credits include The Danish Girl, My Week with Marilyn, Les Misérables and The Theory of Everything, for which he won a Golden Globe, an Academy Award and a BAFTA for Best Actor.
