Welcome back. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. For the remainder of the year, I will be teaching you more about spells, rather than creatures as we have been doing, though some, like this one, also include study of creatures. For the start, we will begin with the Curse of the Bogies.

First, let me tell you that what you are most likely imagining is a bat-bogey hex. This is NOT the same thing. The Curse of the Bogies attracts creatures called bogeymen or, when more evolved and developed, demons. They are a group of creatures instead of one particular one. These range from Boggarts to Kelpies.

Before you learn about the effects of this curse, I would like each of you to peruse your copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to choose a demonic creature and research it. Use what ever resources you wish. You will be expected to give a short report at the end of class. So that leaves you about twenty minutes. Off you go!

Twenty minutes are well up. I would like you to all come up here and line up, alphabetical by last name. You will each have one minute to summarize what you have learned about the creature you chose. When you are finished, get back in line to hear what others have learned.

There is the bell. For homework, write down a summary of your creature, to be turned in next class. Class is dismissed.
