Plot:
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle reader's 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.
Review:
As a person who loves muggle fairy tales already, I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book of fairy tales for wizards. It was well written and I read each and every story with ease. Though short stories can sometimes be boring and lack much point, these stories were well though out and I found each of them very interesting. Especially if you like the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, don’t hesitate to pick up this book. I thought when I first heard about this book that it would be aimed for small children and full of sort of nursery rhymes, but trust me, that isn’t the case. This book is filled with tales that are definitely on the Grimm side, my favorite kind of fairy tales. The artwork in this book is terrific as well.
