Loved that many of the actors from the movie were narrators on this one. Love evanna lynch and just overall the flow of all of this since its three mini books in one audiobook.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of fairytales taking place in the Wizarding World. This collection reads like classic fairytales, with grim undertones and relatively clear morals. It’s a fantastic expansion to the Wizarding World and I’d recommend it to any Harry Potter fan (though I think anyone could read and enjoy this collection).

If you’re able, I think the best way to enjoy this collection is by listening to the audiobook while simultaneously following along in the illustrated edition, honestly, best reading experience ever.

If you’re curious, the collection is narrated by actors from the movie franchise, and is as follows:

❥Sally Mortemore (Madame Pince in Harry Potter) reads the introduction as well as the JKR footnotes
❥Jude Law (Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts) reads Dumbledore’s commentary

❥Warwick Davis (Flitwick/Griphook in Harry Potter) reads The Wizard and the Hopping Pot

❥Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter) reads The Fountain of Fair Fortune 

❥Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter) reads The Warlock’s Hairy Heart

❥Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter) reads Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump
❥Noma Dumezweni (Hermione in The Cursed Child) reads The Tale of the Three Brothers

Also, if Jude Law could read every book to me, that would be great.
