The Tales of Beedle the Bard
By: J.K. Rowling
Length: 109 pages
Genre: Young Adult, Magical Short Stories
Synopsis From Goodreads:
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers’ attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger’s new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,” “The Fountain of Fair Fortune,” “The Warlock’s Hairy Heart,” “Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump,” and of course, “The Tale of the Three Brothers.” But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter.
My Review:
Rating:
Mrs. J.K. Rowling did a wonderful job on writing this book. Her descriptions in each short story made each one have a personality of their own. They were almost like back stories to the Harry Potter Saga. I really enjoyed reading this book, it made it seem has though the Harry Potter world was still alive.
I liked the moral behind "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," not being selfish and thinking about others. Like in the movies my favorite story was "The Tale of the Three Brothers." Out of all the stories that one had to be best story I read!
J.K. Rowling is an amazing writer and I hope she never stops writing!!
