Centaurs live in forests. They are very intelligent. They study the stars and the planets
and sometimes see the future. Most centaurs stay far away from people, but one of
them, Firenze, saves Harry's life. He even becomes a teacher at Harry's school.
The Phoenix is a beautiful bird. Harry's headmaster has a pet phoenix called Fawkes.
Tears from its eyes save Harry's life after a poisonous monster bites him. Harry is

again from the ashes.
Chimeras live near volcanoes. They are very dangerous and very difficult to kill.
