About this listen

An approved textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since its first publication, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an indispensable guide to the magical beasts of the wizarding world. It showcases a menagerie of magical creatures, explained enchantingly by noted magizoologist, Newt Scamander, who you may remember from the film series of the same name.

And, who better to narrate this compendium of beasts than Eddie Redmayne, Oscar-winning star of the Fantastic Beasts films. The audiobook uses thrilling soundscapes to bring the beasts off the page.

The shelves of the Hogwarts Library are also home to many more fascinating books. If you have enjoyed Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them you might want to check out some of its other treasures: Quidditch Through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Best audiobook I've ever listened to. Eddie Redmayne does a commendable job here and also the sound effects in the background.

Wonderful!

The performance was wonderful and I loved every bit of this book, however it was a very small work and it felt like the work had finished before it could start

A good listen for all the Potter heads

Has that signature Rowling humour that Potterheads have learned to love. And of course, the delightful Eddie Redmayne. Not to be confused with the movie franchise though, it's built like an encyclopedia, not the story of Grindelwald's times.

Very fun for Potterheads
