    Could've Been Less of a Commercial
    About 80 percent of this is a fascinating, if drawn out and dumbed down, examination of the origins of mythical creatures, such as the dragon and the unicorn. But then we get Harry Potter shilling throughout, and the last 10 minutes or so are a straight-up commercial for the Potter franchise. Does everything have to be an ad for something else?
