If you fancy yourself a Magizoologist or just find nifflers adorable [1], prepare to spend your week reading or listening to an updated edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them [2]. Not to be confused, this isn't the screenplay from the movie, but rather, the actual Hogwarts library book that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were required to get their first year of Hogwarts. The best part? Eddie Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander in the movie, narrates the audiobook!
We don't know too many details about what's in the new edition of the book, other than it contains the stories of six new beasts [4] and includes a foreword written by J.K. Rowling as Newt Scamander. The book is available in both print [5] ($13) and ebook [6] ($13) editions. The audiobook [7] will retail for $15.
Anyone who purchases the audiobook will also be contributing to the J.K. Rowling's own charity: Comic Relief and Lumos, as 15 percent of sales will go to the group. Get a peek of what Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sounds like with Eddie below.
