A Quintaped

Magizoology is the study of magical creatures. Wizards and witches in this field are referred to as Magizoologists. The most famous Magizoologist was Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. There are many different sub-categories in this field, such as dragonologists, as well as specialists.

Magizoologist

A Magizoologist is a wizard or witch who studies magical creatures (a field known as Magizoology); though they may possibly also be referred to as wizarding naturalists. A person may not need to have graduated from school to become a Magizoologist.[1]

The Scamander family has many members that have worked as Magizoologists. One of the most famous Magizoologists is Newt Scamander. He was the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Early in life, Scamander developed an interest in magical creatures that was influenced by his mother's breeding of hippogriffs. Newt's grandson Rolf and his wife Luna were considered wizarding naturalists.[2]

A Care of Magical Creatures class is taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for students who wish to learn about magical beasts. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a required textbook[3] and the professor of the subject can be counted as a Magizoologist, since they are educating others about creatures. Rubeus Hagrid was the Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts, his predecessor was Silvanus Kettleburn.[4]

A Dragonologist is a Magizoologist who specialises in the study of dragons.[5][6]

Classification

As Magizoologists work with many creatures, the perceived dangerousness of working with each creature may be higher than others. As such, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic created a classification of every known beast, being and spirit. These offer a glance and guide into the life of a Magizoologist.

Ministry of Magic (M.O.M.) Classification
