Thanks for your two knuts Fridwulfa. however I disagree. in the 
introduction there are numerous references to what would classify as 
a being, and goblins and are mentioned but I do not believe elves 
are. thats an interesting fact too. house elves are not mentioned 
throughout the book. since these two clearly understand wizarding 
laws they should be classified as beings. not beasts. On further 
thought this would explain why they are not mentioned. They are 
beings. Not beasts.

Thanks for the thoughts.

John who would like to see books on beings and spirits as well. 
PS also what would be an interesting creature of your imagination 
that you would like to see in the Harry Potter universe?
