<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000><SPAN
class=97545719-31082000>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</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000>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).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000>And what about the
mermaids & mermen - are they magical creatures? What about Dementors (I
know, not really humanesque)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000>And Goblins, Veela or
Lepreuchans?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=97545719-31082000>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.

phoenixes (cross reference Fawkes in Animal Characters); unicorns;
hippogriffs; werewolves; etc.)
