This one is a good example of the difference in illustrations. The original had small illustrations, but the new edition has detailed drawings of some of the beasts in the book and also lovely illustrations covering half the page for the chapter titles. The Cover design was done by another illustrator though, Olly Moss. They are just gorgeous! The illustrator for the images in was Tomislav Tomic. The next new and amazing thing is the illustrations. In the new edition the Foreword is written by Newt himself and explains a little of how he got to discovering these beasts and also that the muggle edition does not contain that foreword. The foreword in the original is written by Albus Dumbledore and at the end of the foreword he states that this book is fiction and muggles have nothing to worry about. The first thing is that this new edition is the wizard edition whereas the original is the muggle friendly edition where it is made out to be fiction. There was a couple little things that was different from the original. I don’t own a physical copy of this book yet but I’m assuming that it will appear exactly the same as the Ebook does. While listening to the Audiobook I read along with the original physical edition and the new eBook edition so that I could easily see what changes had been made as it has been a while since I read any of these books. I adore this set of books! I love when Authors add little things like this to their series’s, especially the Harry Potter series where we just can’t get enough information! I own the box set of the original Hogwarts Library set including Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Quidditch Through The Ages & The Tales of Beedle The Bard. So if you want to be surprised when you get your own copy then you can either skip to the bottom and just read my review of the Audiobook or you can leave and go hide in a corner avoiding the internet until you get your copy because I have a feeling that a lot of people will be talking about this release!!! The Original This is kind of SPOILERY, however not in that I’m giving away information in the book, but more that I’m explaining the changes between the original and new editions of this book. This won’t be like a normal review, it will mostly be about the differences between the original Library book and the new one and my opinions on the Audiobook. Title: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
