Fantastic Beasts
The older ones, from the end of primary or entering college, will be able to dive with pleasure into the mysterious world of “Fantastic animals”. A very interesting audio book since particular care has been taken to the sound quality: the sound effects were produced in binaural sound, a technique that reproduces natural listening, in three dimensions.
A sound innovation therefore, in the service of a fantastic tale even if it is not really a story but rather a school manual. We discover the magical creatures of the wizarding world, like a real student of Hogwarts school!
Norbert Dragonneau shares his many discoveries made during his travels, including creatures known in the various Harry Potter books, such as the hippogriff or the spiked magyar.
