Book Review – ‘The Tales of Beedle the Bard’ by J. K. Rowling – 4 Stars

A lot of effort has gone into these stories. They’re not just short story jottings that weren’t good enough to get mentioned in the Potter series, these are meticulously crafted fables, written (as per their muggle counterparts) to promote moral living by showing the consequences of greed, avarice, and bigotry. Each fable is followed by notes written by Albus Dumbledore to give the reader an idea of the magical history behind each story. They all have a solid ethical direction and are a great way to return to the magical universe that we left a year and a half ago.
