[HP4GU-FAQ] Questions

[Tandy, Heidi]

Among the other magical creatures, inho, are Kelpies, Redcaps, Gryndelows,
Blast Ended Skrewts (ick!), dragons (including each species in Book IV),
Centuars ("ruddy stargazers"), Agragog & his family (i.e. giant spiders)
and flobberworms.
And are grims real magical creatures or figments of people's imaginations? I
think I'll just include them because they really don't belong anywhere else
 
 
I am having more problems putting the more "human" magical creatures into
this section (although I firmly think the centuars should be) I am not sure
about including House Elves in this group - it feels demeaning to them (this
is me channeling hermione).
And what about the mermaids & mermen - are they magical creatures? What
about Dementors (I know, not really humanesque)
And Goblins, Veela or Lepreuchans?
 
I am leaning towards just doing them all and prefacing the FAQ with a
statement that they're not all the kind of "magical creatures" which would
necessarily be part of a Magical Creatures class.
.
Also, is someone doing an Animagi faq? It woudl be appropriate for me to
link straight to an animagi faq, but I think it's more than can be
incorporated into this section.

What are we defining as Magical creatures and animal characters? 
 

Heidi may have different thoughts but I would do the following: 

Animal Characters (Hedwig, Crookshanks, Pig, Fawkes, Scabbers) 


Magical Creatures (Owls in general (cross reference Animal Characters);
phoenixes (cross reference Fawkes in Animal Characters); unicorns;
hippogriffs; werewolves; etc.)
