how many ys can you find in:
q: what is more dangerous: a griffin or a hippogriff? which would be seen as more deadly in comfrontation with a witch or wizard?
only canonical answers please.

a: in the excellentfantastic beasts and where to find them (by jk rowling), each beast is provided with a ministry of magic classification offering an 

at-a-glance guide to the perceived dangerousness of a creature.

the hippogriff is classified with three xxxs, indicating that a 

competent wizard should cope

whereas by comparison, the griffin is marked with four xxxxs, indicating that it is 

dangerous / requires specialist knowledge / skilled wizard may
  handle


in the harry potter universe, griffins appear to be analogous to guard dogs:

griffins are often employed by wizards to guard treasure. though
  griffins are fierce, a handful of skilled wizards have been known to
  befriend one.

whereas the hippogriff is more analogous to a horse which can be tamed and ridden:

it has the head of a giant eagle and the body of a horse. it can be
  tamed, though this should be attempted only by experts. eye contact
  should be maintained when approaching a hippogriff. bowing shows good
  intentions. if the hippogriff returns the greeting, it is safe to draw
  closer.
