Poll: Fantastic Beasts: Magical 'Harry Potter' Creatures

Magizoologist Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) puts a spotlight on the fantastic beasts of the Wizarding World.

Which fantastic creature,* magical or otherwise, from the original 'Harry Potter' movie series is the most intriguing?

* Beasts, Non-Beings, Plants and Ordinary Animals classified for sentient ability and danger to wizards according to the Ministry of Magic (courtesy of the Harry Potter Wikia).
