They're all great stories, written in a classic fairy tale style; just timeless. Would love to hear what other people think of the book... if you've read it, leave us a comment!

[n3croangel]

its more than one story

[R0B0TSINDISGUISE]

She's so clever. Three brothers was the most original and clever story of them all, but, The Fountain of Fair Fortune was a close second! I'd love to have her imagination.

The tales themselves are very creative, as is to be expected from Ms. Rowling, but the funny parts are the notes from Dumbledore after each tale. The Three Brothers notes are particularly funny.

liked the all apart from "the warlock's hairy heart" that one was just plain gruesome

[PaddySnuffles]

I absolutely loved it! Read the whole thing in one sitting. Very fairytale-like and completely diferent from any of the stories I was read as a kid. :D

What do you call the metal/tin/pewter book pieces on the cover and corners? I've always wanted to make a book like that but could never find where they sell those accent pieces.

Love it! It's a great companion book to the series!

:D

it's that story pluss, babbitty rabbity, the warlocks hairy heart, the wizard and the hopping pot, the fountain of fair fortune AND the tale of the three brothers

[seraphinapandora]

The story she's reading is the story from HP7, but she also wrote the other fairy tales from Beedle the Bard (the guy who, in HP, wrote the Deathly Hallows story, The Tale of the Three Brothers).

[EricStevensn]

Hmmm... see my comment above. The Tales are *referred* to in 'Deathly Hallows' but this book was written by J. K. Rowling after Deathly Hallows. In other words, 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' is not contained within Deathly Hallows, it's only referred to in that book. This inspired her to write the Tales in full & publish it later.
