Book used for Care of Magical Creatures lessons.

Care of Magical Creatures is one of the five subjects of choice (years 3 to 7) at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The current teacher of Care of Magical Creatures is Professor Rubeus Hagrid. Before Hagrid it was Professor Silvanus Kettleburn, who taught this subject.

New from J.K. Rowling[]

"All first-years at Hogwarts must take seven subjects: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Herbology. Flying lessons (on broomsticks) are also compulsory.

At the end of their second year at Hogwarts, students are required to choose a minimum of two more subjects from the following list: Arithmancy, Muggle Studies, Divination, Study of Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures.

Very specialised subjects such as Alchemy are sometimes offered in the final two years, if there is sufficient demand."
