“#Harry Potter’s magical beasts live in new London exhibit<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The occamy, a vibrant teal feathered serpent. The demiguise, a shaggy gray monkey lookalike with owlish eyes. And the niffler, a long-snouted mole impersonator.<\/p>\n

These magical beasts live famously in Harry Potter\u2019s wizarding world, but they can still teach us a thing or two about our own incredible creatures \u2014 especially the threatened and endangered ones.<\/p>\n

London\u2019s Natural History Museum is delivering the very real message of wildlife conservation in a new exhibit that head curator Lorraine Cornish describes as the institution\u2019s best and most ambitious.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bit unusual for us,\u201d Cornish told The Post. \u201cIt\u2019s really a creative and interesting way of messaging that people and the planet can thrive together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s Dec. 9 opening has been a long time coming \u2014 two years of planning and a seven-month delay after the coronavirus pushed back a May opening.<\/p>\n

Now, though, \u201cFantastic Beasts: The Wonders of Nature\u201d \u2014 a nod to the \u201cFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them\u201d textbook by Newt Scamander from J.K. Rowling\u2019s world of Potter \u2014 is ready except for final touches.<\/p>\n

Visitors will be pulled through time \u2014 from hundreds of years ago to modern times.<\/p>\n

Ancient drawings of dragons, unicorns and mermaids show how the human imagination has always morphed bits and pieces of real creatures into make-believe ones. Dinosaurs might be the underpinning for dragons, for example, or manatees for mermaids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese creatures grew out of stories passed down about strange or frightening encounters with real animals,\u201d Cornish said.<\/p>\n

Magizoologist Scamander, who is both wizard and magical-creature researcher, and the museum\u2019s scientists travel<\/a> to faraway places seeking out the rarest of creatures, imagined and real.<\/p>\n

Then, they point out parallels. The demiguise can vanish, the cuttlefish camouflages itself from enemies. The occamy can shrink enough to hide in a teapot, pufferfish can inflate themselves several times over.<\/p>\n

And the storybook beings even play a role in helping visitors understand the importance of protecting all creatures in the natural world.<\/p>\n

Just like how Scamander tries to save the last pair of graphorns in \u201cFantastic Beasts\u201d \u2014 the rhino-looking creature has two golden horns that repel spells \u2014 researchers are working to save New Zealand\u2019s flightless Kakapo. And they\u2019re succeeding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe story of the Kakapo bird is inspiring, filled with hope,\u201d Cornish told The Post.<\/p>\n

Roughly 100 of the museum\u2019s 80 million specimens will be mingled with props from the \u201cPotter\u201d and \u201cFantastic Beasts\u201d films, distributed by Warner Bros. The movie company and the BBC are the museum\u2019s partners for the exhibit.<\/p>\n

The show wraps up in the summer, then starts a five-year international tour. Cornish wouldn\u2019t comment on whether New York City will be a stop, but she smiled \u2014 and then on to talk about the exhibit\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to change the way we treat the world.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
