The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers\u2019 attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger\u2019s new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: \u201cThe Wizard and the Hopping Pot,\u201d \u201cThe Fountain of Fair Fortune,\u201d \u201cThe Warlock\u2019s Hairy Heart,\u201d \u201cBabbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump,\u201d and of course, \u201cThe Tale of the Three Brothers.\u201d But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter.
