[HPforGrownups] OOP: Dementors (was : Re: OOP: Petunia and Azkaban)

[Carolin Mönkemeyer]

No: HPFGUIDX 66500

But even created creatures , or those which seem likely to be created, are
mentioned in "Fantastic beasts", e.g. the Quintapeds or the Acrumatula....

There must be a more "dark" reason why they are not mentioned....
