11 'Harry Potter' Secrets From Inside The 'Creature Vault'

Are you ready to see all of the werewolves?

Have you opened up "Harry Potter: The Creature Vault" yet? It's the newest book about the Wizarding World, chronicling its many magical monsters and mysteries, from mandrakes to dragons and beyond. Author Jody Revenson examines all these different corners of the "Potter" universe, and reveals concept art and behind-the-scenes details about how they came alive in the "Harry Potter" movies.

Chapter five, "Shape-Shifters," contains some of the book's best secrets. It showcases how Boggarts, werewolves and Animagi came to life for the films — and that means there's a whole lot to enjoy for fans of the Marauders: James Potter's group of friends from his Hogwarts days, including werewolf Remus Lupin, the prisoner Sirius Black, and the traitorous Peter Pettigrew.

Take a look at some exclusive concept art featuring Pettigrew, Sirius, Lupin and others in the werewolf community:
