I love fairy tales with dwarfs and dragons and elves and other magical creatures
Same, which ones are your favorite?
Magical creatures in Harry Potter
Magical creatures are an aspect of the fictional wizarding world contained in the "Harry Potter" series by J. K. Rowling. Throughout the seven books of the series, Harry and his friends come across many of these creatures on their adventures, as well as in the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts. Rowling has also written "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", a guide to the magical beasts found in the series. Many of these are derived from folklore, primarily Greek mythology
J. R. R. Tolkien agreed with the exclusion of "fairies" from the definition, defining fairy tales as stories about the adventures of men in "Faërie", the land of fairies, fairytale princes and princesses, dwarves, elves, and not only other magical species but many other marvels. However, the same essay excludes tales that are often considered fairy tales, citing as an example "The Monkey's Heart", which Andrew Lang included in "The Lilac Fairy Book".
