Four Parts of the Wizarding World J.K. Rowling Should Further Explain in the “Fantastic Beasts” Spinoff

After the initial wave of what we’ll call intensity had passed, I started to think about what this would really mean for my understanding of the “Potter” series. Would I really learn anything? Wasn’t “Fantastic Beasts” just a small, 54-page guide to the magical beasts found in the wizarding world? How would this be applicable to my already-existing knowledge of “Harry Potter,” if at all?

Exploring animal cruelty and mistreatment in “Potter”

It’s a well-known fact that throughout the “Potter” series we’re introduced to a number of different animals, both “Muggle” and magical, each of which are uniquely portrayed by Rowling in their own way. In an interview with BBC Radio 4, Rowling expressed that she typically liked to derive many of these creatures from folklore and mythology, and many, even the seemingly “normal” ones, exemplify magical properties (think owls delivering mail). Further, though, I think it’s important to recognize that a lot of the different creatures in the “Potter” series haven’t necessarily been given happy endings, or stories for that matter.
