@Stiv I'm assuming this is RHODODENDRONS (bushes)? Before S, which presumably can mean "school", RON (Harry's friend) pursues RHODODEND (anagram of "odd horned" as indicated by "beast")
Also not sure how beast is an anagram indicator: is it because it's an amalgamation of the letters of "odd horned", and this amalgamation can be imagined as a beast of some sort?
Oh wait, I double checked the meaning and I assume it's the noun senses of savage/crude/violent which is being used for "beast", but my question still stands since "beast" is a noun :0
@oAlt That's the correct answer, and I was using 'beast' in the 'wild thing' sense, such that a something beast could be a wild arrangement of something. May not be standard but you seem to have got there nonetheless...
@msh210 ZEUGMA = GAUZE* has M(e). defn: as quoted from MW, "the use of a word to modify or govern two or more words usually in such a manner that it applies to each in a different sense or makes sense with only one (as in "opened the door and her heart to the homeless boy")". So "losing blood – and my cool" is also an example of a zeugma.
CCCC: Remove outer part (or parts) of an image of plants? (4)

Construct a meaningful phrase for (8, 7, 9) if 15 is the name of a country.

@msh210 : HIRSUTE (furry, TIL) = ET (alien) + US (you and I) returning after HIR ("third" (with) screening of the outer limits). Screening here has the denotation of keeping out/removing/filtering out something.
Usual folks! Each ellipse corresponds to an as-yet-unknown category - two tiles are placed for you - and each remaining tile belongs to at least one category - so the question remains - which goes where and why?

I have a physical Pentomino puzzle lying around, which contains 2 F pieces, one Y piece, one T piece and one W piece.
