The Tales of Beedle the Bard Review
Title: The Tales of Beedle the Bard
Author: J.K. Rowling
Rating: 3.5/5
Synopsis: 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.
Quote: “Death comes for us all in the end.”
My Thoughts: This book was so cute. The little stories were pretty interesting and I liked getting to see what Dumbledore thought of all of them. I especially like The Tale of the Three Brothers and The Warlock's Hairy Heart because they weren't regular children's stories they had darker themes to them. There's not much to say I really liked the illustrations. While reading I was posting pictures of them on Instagram. I'm glad that it wasn't boring and it was a quick and light read which I needed after finishing the Hunger Games Trilogy.
