As much as I love the plethora of Harry Potter books which explore the cinematic wizarding that are being released, I'm getting vaguely annoyed with how brief they all are! I guess they just want to sell more merchandise, rather than investing hte time and resources into a definitive volume for each film or series of films. That being said, this small book provides a good introduction to many of the key themes, characters, and concepts from the first Fantastic Beasts movie, and was well-designed to appeal to younger readers. Those of us in the elder generation of Harry Potter fans will obviously be looking for more content and commentary, but the whimsical format and concise organization will still appeal to our memories of similar types of books which were around when we were younger.
