I thought it was probably appropriate to put this here, as it is intended to be about the Wizards (the "Harry Potter" fandom faction), before magic is known to exist in Fenspace.
What have the Wizards got that works in Fenspace? Their brooms are pretty obvious, with an 'enchantment' that lets them have an air envelope, and keep the air good. Cauldrons for potion making, that interact with their wands, and make all those wonderful WWW products:

Do they have Polyjuice? I'd be inclined to say "Yes", with the restriction that is doesn't create or destroy matter, even on a temporary basis. And, sometimes glitches or quirks in 'amusing' ways, such as Hermionie Granger's catgirl incident. Note that this would be an amazingly powerful thing to have.
Do they have Veritaserum? If they do then the effect on various judicial systems could be... interesting.

Having a list of Wizard spells and an idea whether they can or can't be simulated by wands (or which mark wand?) might be worth while:
http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_spells
and answers as to whether the Wizards have various people who are biomodded to be functioning werewolves, vampires, veela, half-giants, centaurs, etc.
A Dark Lord might be very interested in the CGM to make their own Trolls and Giants. Not to mention Dragons...
Space Dragon with a speed drive as a fully organic part of it? And, plasma breath?

It'll take the research project that Jenga carries out to break that prejudice... and by then it'll be too late to use machines to produce the first of the magical creatures.
Maybe the Wizards got hold of a Catgirling Machine, really early on, and adapted it to help them create all the 'magical creatures' that they want for their fandom? Then, found some of those creatures turned out to be a lot more magical than could be easily explained by handwavium and biomods?I think I'd prefer the first generation of "magical creatures" to be one-offs, rather than produced by any sort of machine.
IMHO.
