MINISTRY OF MAGIC CLASSIFICATIONS

The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures gives classifications to all known beasts, beings and spirits. These offer an at-a-glance guide to the perceived dangerousness of a creature. The five categories are as follows

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

XXXXX

Known wizard killer/impossible to train or domesticate

XXXX

Dangerous/requires specialist knowledge/skilled wizard may handle

XXX

Competent wizard should cope

XX

Harmless/may be domesticated

X

Boring

In some cases I have felt an explanation for the classification of a particular beast is necessary and have added footnotes accordingly.
