A collection of five fairy tale stories set in the wizard world. The last story was by far the best

3.5 ⭐️ - Though, I feel weird rating this. 

Short fables that provide life lessons and some wizard history. I appreciate that the book is written with “footnotes” by Dumbledore, in which he dissects the fables and their implications. 

And as a self-proclaimed Harry Potter fan, I even learned some new things! 

Glad to add this to my HP bookshelf.

The stories were simplistic and the messages behind them clear, equipped with the interesting character details found throughout the wizarding world. It does exactly what it sets out to do, nothing ground-breaking.

Disfruté mucho de este libro, necesitaba volver al mundo que JK Rowling inventó hace tanto tiempo para nosotros.
Dejando de lado el cuento que ya todos conocemos, mi favorito fue sin duda Babbity Rabbity

Leí este libro para librarme un poco de la tristeza de acabar en solo 3 meses (y unos días) la saga de HP en audiolibros. Funcionó perfecto. Me dejó un sabor lindo sabor de bocas de seguir imaginando un mundo con magia, soñar que a alguien en algún lugar del mundo si le llega su carta a Hogwarts, que los libros son más crónicas, que fantasía. Me gusto mucho no por su calidad de escritura o complejidad sino por darle más trasfondo al mundo fantástico de HP. Una lectura mega ligera y divertida.

It reminds me of Enid Blyton books I read as a child. The nostalgia alone sustains the score.

That was quick.

I gave this an automatic 5 stars, because of reasons.

Favourites include of course, The Tale of The Three Brothers and Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump. My muggle brain did succumb to her trick and I did think that it was the stump cackling.

I really appreciated how Dumbledore's notes were written. I could hear his voice reading them to me. What a perfect execution.

When I first received this as a gift, I really wanted the Deathly Hallows symbol to be sketched onto the top of a page, like in Hermione's original edition. This can be explained by the fact that this is not, in fact, the original edition bequeathed to her in Dumbledore's will, however, the touch would have been very much appreciated and giddiness-inducing.
