This one is the only one I have. I haven't read the entire thing yet, but
what 
I have read is well written. It's well researched into the "real" stories of

werewolves, unicorns, etc. It's not really a guide, it's more a "what's
behind 
the magical creatures, legends, etc." that are used in HP. 

I'd love to here input on the other books. I *need* something to tide me
over 
until OotP is out! Of course, I'll probably need to fill up a good 2 or 3 
years after that waiting for book 6.

Richelle

I've got The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter (I think that's the correct
title, it was the last one on your original list anyway) It sounds like it's
almost identical to the one Richelle is talking about, although possibly
less in depth. It seeme to me to be aimed at kids or teenagers at any rate,
I wasn't greatl;y impressed by it.
