I read this book to my son during a couple nights' late feedings. The stories are amusing and well written, but it's really just a little treat, a crumb that fell off the giant cake that was Harry Potter. The notes from Dumbledore are fine, but they don't really reflect a clear sense of him or his voice. The bits of lore (like the idea that the term 'warlock' designates a wizard especially skilled in martial magic) are the most amusing part, as are the references to other unresolved histories (such as the herbalist with the surname Granger).
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard" is a very very entertaining book. While the stories are mostly enjoyed by Harry Potter fans I believe they are still very cute children stories, which all teach very classical morals. I enjoyed reading it a lot, and since it is so very short, I am very sure of picking it up some more times and hopefully will also get the chance to read it aloud to others some time.

I feel like I shouldn't really judge this book, because it probably was written for children and i did enjoy it more than the other 2 books in the series, but I think Dumbledore's notes for example were so unnecessary. I still really like the illustrations though.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a great addition to the Harry Potter family. On the same level as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages adds in a bit more background information to the world of Harry Potter. Of the three books, I found this one the most interesting. I went into this hoping for some fables and fairy tales and that's exactly what I got. I only wish that there had been more, a nice chunky volume of tales! Now that would have been perfect!
Of the 5 stories, my favorite was The Fountain of Fair Fortune, thought they were all interesting. Enhancing the stories are Rowling's own drawings and Dumbledore's commentary. I think this is definitely a fun book for anyone that loves Harry Potter and a great introduction to the world of Harry Potter for a new reader!

So fun and interesting. Loved the commentary by dumbledore. (I love him!!) I wish there had been some translation commentary by hermione in addition to or instead of JKR.
This book was really creative and I enjoyed the way Rowling added the different voices of Dumbledore and herself. In creating the world of Hogworts she has enabled herself to write an unlimited number of spin offs if she chose to (we have already seen the Quiditch manual).
The reason I gave the book only 3 stars had nothing to do with the quality it was due to the fact that it was not un-put-downable and gripping in the was that some novels are.

Otro libro que te invita a conocer más del Mundo Mágico de Harry Potter. Este es un clásico infantil para magos y brujas. Vienen a ser como los cuentos de hadas de los muggles.
Fue escrito muchos siglos atrás por Beedle el Bardo y traducido de su idioma original, el rúnico, por Hermione Granger.
Este libro cuenta también con anotaciones del mismísimo Albus Dumbledore. En estás anotaciones, nos cuenta anécdotas e incluye detalles interesantes y divertidos de este mágico universo.
El libro en sí esta dividido en 5 historias. Alguna más macabra que la otra, pero todas interesantes y con un mensaje válido también para el mundo muggle.
El cuento mas famoso es “La Fábula de los Tres Hermanos” ya que cobra vital importancia en el libro “Harry Potter y las Reliquias de la Muerte”.
Mi favorito es: “La Fuente de la Buena Fortuna” y su mensaje final. Está como para leérsela a mis hijos antes de dormir.
Como todos los libros adicionales a la saga de Harry Potter, este también ha sido publicado con fines benéficos. Esta vez a través de la ONG Lumus para ayudar a los niños menos favorecidos.
Siempre es refrescante volver a sumergirse en este mundo lleno de magia.
