Chapter 1
The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is the Ministry of Magic department that oversees everything involving magical creatures. The department enforces creature law, gives licenses to appropriate applicants, handles complaints for creature abuse or misuse, and maintains two different forms of creature classification
three divisions are beast, being, and spirit. Every creature that is recognized by the department is placed into one of these groups.
beast is a magical creature that does not have the intelligence to cooperate and understand magical law
A being is any creature that has enough intelligence to understand and cooperate with magical law, and can potentially help shape it.
spirit, are beings that have passed on, meaning they are ghosts. Because they can no longer contribute to magical law, they are then placed into the spirit category
Creature Classification Scale:
X - Boring
XX - Harmless, may be domesticated
XXX - Competent wizard should cope
XXXX - Dangerous, requires specialist knowledge, skilled wizard may handle
XXXXX - Known wizard killer, impossible to train or domesticate
Under the Beast Division, there is:
The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures
The Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau
The Ghoul Task Force
The Werewolf Capture Unit
The Werewolf Registry and Register
Under the Being Division, there is:
The Office for House-Elf Relocation
Werewolf Support Services
Also under the department, under no specific group, are:
The Goblin Liaison Board
The Centaur Liaison Board
The Pest Advisory Board
The Office of Misinformation
The Most Significant Magizoologist in History:
Newt Scamander
