The Tales of Beedle the Bard

The Tales of Beedle the BardThe other day I readThe Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling. If you read the 7th Harry Potter book, you might remember that Dumbledore left Hermione a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard and it contained clues on that were helpful to her, Harry, and Ron on their mission.

It consists of 5 fairy tales for wizard children. It’s pretty short and I even I could read it in 1 sitting. The book doesn’t really add anything to the Harry Potter story that you couldn’t gain from reading the 7th Potter book. I guess it’s mostly for completists like me. Each story does have notes from Dumbledore, which are interesting to read. The author is donating all the proceeds to charity, so I don’t feel like she released this to make more money off Harry Potter.
