Summary
The Tales of Beedle the Bard have been favourite bedtime reading in wizarding households for centuries。 Full of magic and trickery， these classic tales both entertain and instruct， and remain as captivating to young wizards today as they were when Beedle first put quill to parchment in the fifteenth century。 There are five tales in all: 'The Tale of the Three Brothers' Harry Potter fans will know from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune'， 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart'， 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot' and 'Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump' complete the collection。 These narrative gems are accompanied by explanatory notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore （included by kind permission of the Hogwarts Headmaster's archive）。 His illuminating thoughts reveal the stories to be much more than just simple moral tales， and are sure to make Babbitty Rabbitty and the slug-belching Hopping Pot as familiar to Muggles as Snow White and Cinderella。
This brand new edition of these much loved fairy tales from the wizarding world pairs J。K。 Rowling's original text with gorgeous jacket art by Jonny Duddle and line illustrations throughout by Tomislav Tomic。
The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of the Lumos （link to wearelumos。org）， an international children's charity （registered charity number 1112575） founded in 2005 by J。K Rowling。

I just finished The tales of Beedle the bard in its original audiobook version read by the cast of Harry Potter。I loved the tales told here; my favorites have been "The fountain of fair fortune"， "The warlock's hairy heart which was gruesome a story as I enjoy them。 But， overall， all stories were perfectly written and perfectly narrated。 Je viens de finir Les contes de Beedle le barde dans sa version audio originale， lu par les acteurs et actrices de Hary Potter。J'ai beaucoup aimé les histoires I just finished The tales of Beedle the bard in its original audiobook version read by the cast of Harry Potter。I loved the tales told here; my favorites have been "The fountain of fair fortune"， "The warlock's hairy heart which was gruesome a story as I enjoy them。 But， overall， all stories were perfectly written and perfectly narrated。 Je viens de finir Les contes de Beedle le barde dans sa version audio originale， lu par les acteurs et actrices de Hary Potter。J'ai beaucoup aimé les histoires racontées ici， surtout "La fontaine de la bonne fortune" et "Le sorcier au cœur velu" qui était sinistre à souhait。 Mais， en tout， il n'y a pas dans ce recueil une histoire qui n'aurait pas été narrée de manière parfaite。Un livre court pour moi mais tout de même un coup de cœur。 。。。more

Vaya， inesperadamente me han gustado casi todos lo relatos。 Excepto el primero que me parece el más flojo， el resto son más que decentes。 Pensaba que el único que disfrutaría sería la fábula de los tres magos， y sorpresa resultó habiendo algunos que fueron casi igual de buenos。1。 La fábula de los tres magos2。 La fuente de la buena fortuna3。 El corazón peludo del brujo4。 Babbitty Rabbitty y su cepa carcajeante5。 El mago y el cazo saltarín

Growing up with Harry Potter， I have no idea why I hadn’t picked up this companion book until recently。 As always， the Wizarding World—and J。K。 Rowling’s incredible imagination—is deeply articulate， otherworldly， and an obviously fictional-but-feels-real magical place， absolutely marvelous to immerse yourself into。

Un libro súper sencillo pero empapado de la magia del mundo maravilloso que supo crear JK。 Este tipo de “paratextos” de la saga original， que funcionan como satélites de la obra de Harry， ayudan a construir verosimilitud en el universo Rowling， y para que mentir。。。 yo estoy fascinada con la mente de esta mujer。 Beedle es para ellos lo que los hermanos Grimm son para los muggles: escribieron fábulas para niños （👀） con moralejas y enseñanzas “escondidas”， textos que se usaron （y se usan） para expl Un libro súper sencillo pero empapado de la magia del mundo maravilloso que supo crear JK。 Este tipo de “paratextos” de la saga original， que funcionan como satélites de la obra de Harry， ayudan a construir verosimilitud en el universo Rowling， y para que mentir。。。 yo estoy fascinada con la mente de esta mujer。 Beedle es para ellos lo que los hermanos Grimm son para los muggles: escribieron fábulas para niños （👀） con moralejas y enseñanzas “escondidas”， textos que se usaron （y se usan） para explicar situaciones complicadas e incluso tienen en común que fueron “adaptados” （o censurados mejor dicho） debido a su contenido。 Un libro súper ligero que recomiendo para leer entre lecturas muy pesadas （o cuando te duele la cabeza por estar mucho tiempo frente a la pantalla y queres desconectar pero no tenes tanto poder de concentración en ese momento del día）。 JK: soy tu fan。 。。。more

This was delightful。 The audiobook was read by actors of the Harry Potter movies so it lent an extra bit of authenticity to the stories。 I especially liked how Dumbledore included a summary and analysis of each story。 It was a really neat format of story telling。 The stories themselves were also really good。 Reminiscent of the Grimm Fairy Tales。 It was a nice short read。

It is just INCREDIBLE！ I love it。 The narrators were very good， but the sound effects is the thing I like the most in the audio-book （I listened it in Storytel）。 For Harry Potter fans like me this is such a pleasure to read or listen this additional book from the magical world of Harry。 Thanks to J。K。 Rowling for that treasure。

Funny story: when I was a kid， I had this book， but I gifted away because my stupid brain was too kind for his own good。 And then I pass the last 10 years TRYING TO FIND A SECOND HAND COPY because they didn't print it anymore。 So kids， learn: Never give books away。 IT'S A TRAP。 Oh， and trans rights are human rights。 That's also a very valuable lesson ;）Anyway， I liked it better now than when I was a kid。 Basically: The Wizard and the Hopping Pot: 4/5The Fountain of Fair Fortune: 3/5The Warlock's Funny story: when I was a kid， I had this book， but I gifted away because my stupid brain was too kind for his own good。 And then I pass the last 10 years TRYING TO FIND A SECOND HAND COPY because they didn't print it anymore。 So kids， learn: Never give books away。 IT'S A TRAP。 Oh， and trans rights are human rights。 That's also a very valuable lesson ;）Anyway， I liked it better now than when I was a kid。 Basically: The Wizard and the Hopping Pot: 4/5The Fountain of Fair Fortune: 3/5The Warlock's Hairy Heart: 5/5Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump: 3/5The Tale of the Three Brothers: 100000/5Still， Dumbledore notes were the best part。 。。。more

Finally got around to reading this and I am so glad that I did！ I downloaded the audiobook on Audible when it first came out because it was free and I just never listened to it。 But I must say， I very much enjoyed the production of this book。 I loved the sound effects to go with it， as well as the familiar narrators' voices to help bring it even more to life。 I think my favourite was the Wizard and the Hopping Pot。 Maybe it was just Warrick Davis' voice， but I found myself very engaged with this Finally got around to reading this and I am so glad that I did！ I downloaded the audiobook on Audible when it first came out because it was free and I just never listened to it。 But I must say， I very much enjoyed the production of this book。 I loved the sound effects to go with it， as well as the familiar narrators' voices to help bring it even more to life。 I think my favourite was the Wizard and the Hopping Pot。 Maybe it was just Warrick Davis' voice， but I found myself very engaged with this story。 But mostly， my absolute favourite part of this were the 'notes' from Dumbledore after each one。 It just added to the world that I am already so familiar with， sharing little bits of information that I didn't know before， such as there being a Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts lollll。 I loved it and thoroughly enjoyed the short listen。 。。。more

This was a good book with 5 different stories。 The narration was great and the stories enjoyable。 I can see myself reading these to my kiddos。 I'd recommend to any fan of the Harry Potter series。 Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed。 I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times。 I'll update my review if I listen again。 This was a good book with 5 different stories。 The narration was great and the stories enjoyable。 I can see myself reading these to my kiddos。 I'd recommend to any fan of the Harry Potter series。 Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed。 I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times。 I'll update my review if I listen again。 。。。more

This is so good！ The narration was amazing as well！ Highly recommend the audiobook if only to listen to Jude Law's voice in the notes sections。 This is so good！ The narration was amazing as well！ Highly recommend the audiobook if only to listen to Jude Law's voice in the notes sections。 。。。more

I read this book a while ago， and me not being a really big fan of Harry Potter didn't get overexcited when I saw it。 I forgot I read it and didn't say that I read it so now I don't know what days I read it on。 This book was a fun collection of short stories。 I enjoyed some of them， and others weren't as interesting。 But that's because if you read a bunch of short stories， there will be some you will love， and others you won't。 I think Harry Potter fans will like this a lot more than I did。 I read this book a while ago， and me not being a really big fan of Harry Potter didn't get overexcited when I saw it。 I forgot I read it and didn't say that I read it so now I don't know what days I read it on。 This book was a fun collection of short stories。 I enjoyed some of them， and others weren't as interesting。 But that's because if you read a bunch of short stories， there will be some you will love， and others you won't。 I think Harry Potter fans will like this a lot more than I did。 。。。more

This was a fun little way to perpetuate the wizard of world of Harry Potter。 If you like fables and fairy tales this is a dark little magical sample of such。

cute tales， but the notes by Dumbledore were a bit longwinded。

This has to be my favourite of all the side books to the Harry Potter world series， if you have audible I would 100% recommend giving it a listen as the actors who do the stories really bring it to life。 Even just reading it yourself as a short stories book is incredible。 The stories teach such good life lessons but in a fun， exciting way。 My personal favourite of the short stories ‘The Fountain of Fair Fortune’ tells a tale of 3 witches and 1 muggle on a quest to reach the magical fountain， alo This has to be my favourite of all the side books to the Harry Potter world series， if you have audible I would 100% recommend giving it a listen as the actors who do the stories really bring it to life。 Even just reading it yourself as a short stories book is incredible。 The stories teach such good life lessons but in a fun， exciting way。 My personal favourite of the short stories ‘The Fountain of Fair Fortune’ tells a tale of 3 witches and 1 muggle on a quest to reach the magical fountain， along the way they learn from each other and their surroundings and * no spoilers * but the twist at the end is inspiring and extremely heart warming。 If you get the chance to listen to the Audiobook version， the actors （some of whom were in the harry potter movies） really bring it to life， the sound effects and side notes of Albus Dumbledore （voiced by Jude Law） just takes the book to a whole new level。 I would recommend this book and audiobook to people of all ages， you’re never too old for a fairy tale and for the kids it could teach some good life lessons- in a way that kids will enjoy and not get bored of。 。。。more
