Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

For a fascinating examination of this fortunate tendency of Muggles, the reader might
like to consult The Philosophy of the Mundane: Why the Muggles Prefer Not to Know,
Professor Mordicus Egg (Dust & Mildewe, 1963).

Meanwhile the world’s largest kelpie continues to evade capture
in Loch Ness and appears to have developed a positive thirst for
publicity.

centaurs objected to some of the creatures with whom they were asked to share
“being” status, such as hags and vampires, and declared that they would manage their
own affairs separately from wizards. A year later the merpeople made the same request.

Naturally, the matter has not rested there. We are all familiar
with the extremists who campaign for the classification of
Muggles as “beasts”; we are all aware that the centaurs have
refused “being” status and requested to remain “beasts”;3
werewolves, meanwhile, have been shunted between the Beast
and Being divisions for many years; at the time of writing there
is an office for Werewolf Support Services at the Being Division
whereas the Werewolf Registry and Werewolf Capture Unit fall
under the Beast Division.

Stump therefore created the three
divisions of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures that
exist today: the Beast Division, the Being Division, and the Spirit Division.
