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.

I really enjoyed hearing more into the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Truly interesting. I loved listening to this being read by some actors who are in the movies. Really good experience listening to it

Upon re-reading the novels, it's hard not to see the author's traditionalist, gender-conformist mindset. 

Once, I believed in separating the art from the artist, but this is the first time I've had to try doing so while the artist is still alive and using wealth gained from their art to cause suffering.

Writers have power, the living have power, and the wealthy have power. She is all of those things. I have to do what I can to regain the power I gave her, and this is it.

This book will remain a staple for children who have yet to be jaded by the world.
