Year with the Yeti
by Gilderoy Lockhart
If Lockhart spent a year with the International Task Force that copes with yetis, as suggested by the title of this book, one suspects that they broke out the firewhisky when he left, and had a proper leaving feast…
Yeti – native to Tibet, this tall (up to 15 feet) white-furred humanoid creature may be related to the troll (unlike giants, the yeti fears fire), but as it will attempt to attack and eat any human (or just about anything else, for that matter) that it meets, no witch or wizard has had an opportunity to study a living yeti at close range. Ironically, however, Tibet is one of the most persistent offenders of Clause 73 of the International Code of Wizarding Secrecy due to the number of yeti sightings by Muggles, to the point that a permanent International Task Force is stationed in Tibet to help control the situation.
