>>>Second, what are everyone's guesses on which creature will come up
in COMC in the next book.  My vote is for the Griffin, because of the
line in the book, 'Though griffins are fierce, a handful of skilled
wizards have been known to befriend one.'  If that's not a call out
for Hagrid, I don't know what is.<<<


Hmmm, I like the griffin idea.  Dangerous enough for Hagrid's taste,
and interesting enough for the students.  Plus the link to
Dumbledore's knocker and just the name Gryffindor alone.

Not that Hagrid would be too keen on them, but a class showing the
distinguishing characteristics of the pixies, imps, and fairies could
be interesting and a quite mischievous.  Imagine a day at Hogwarts
with that trio of creatures loose...complete chaos.  Then again, it
has been done in Lockhart's classroom, so not sure if it would be too
monotonous.  Maybe that could be foreshadowing though of someone
letting the trio of creatures free at Hogwarts to distract everyone...

I like the idea of a Jarvey for the class.  Since it "tends to confine
itself to short (and often rude) phrases in almost a constant stream",
Peeves would love it.  Plus it looks like "an overgrown ferret", so
The Three could tease Malfoy endlessly.

My personal favorite for the class is the Mooncalf.  The image of that
shy creature dancing the night away under the full moon cracks me up.
 It is like the friendly, twinkle-toed cousin of a werewolf.
